Abstract

The medical aftermath of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 is an unpleasant subject, one difficult for even physicians to dwell upon. Nevertheless, an understanding of the medical consequences of nuclear war must begin with the historical record-what experience has shown us is true. In addition, physicians and other health-care workers are obliged to keep before the general public the medical facts about nuclear war in 1945, so that knowledge may lead to understanding, and hopefully prevention, in our own time and beyond.
