Sorry for another OT reply about Ouchi but it's a sore spot for me because of all the bullshit out there surrounding his case. Here's the documentary about him, with English subs. The people who treated him are actually interviewed.The written quotes themselves seem to have originated from 'A Decaying Life: Record of 83 Days of Radiation Exposure Treatment' which itself is the written form of the original NHK report of the incident. Ouchi's quotes about his discomfort were made at the fourth day of treatment, after which he was artificially sedated so he thankfully wasn't conscious throughout most of the treatment. The English article seems to sensationalize the progression of his condition, since the skin transplants occurred three weeks after exposure, and his eyes started leaking blood on the 27th day since the incident, rather than immediately after hospitalization as the English article suggests.
I found a blogpost which has screenshots of the original broadcast and his body after his skin started peeling but it's awful and NSFL.
The infamous photo is also definitely not him. Here's two links that debunk it.
