Question -
Answer -
Dr. Sadao found by chance a very badly wounded young American prisoner of war in front of his house. Firstly, he thought of throwing him back into the sea because he could be arrested for giving shelter to a prisoner of war. Then he thought that if he would hand over him to the police, the wounded young man would definitely die. His medical training did not allow him to let a man die if he could save his life. So he brought him home, operated upon him and thus saved his life.
But for this Dr. Sadao had to undergo hardships. His servants left him. He was always in danger of being arrested. He was treating the old General. He told the General about the circumstances under which he had to treat the young man. Dr. Sadao said that he did not care at all for the man. The General told him that he would send his private assassins to Dr. Sadao’s house to kill the man quietly.
Dr. Sadao waited for so many days, but the assassins did not come. Dr. Sadao desperately wanted to get rid of the young American. So he arranged a boat for him to escape to a secluded island. I think the doctor’s final solution was the best possible are under the circumstances.
