I carried my baby full-term, but the camp's inadequate medical care, including the doctor's late arrival, intensified a complex birth. A better-staffed hospital environment might have prevented the hemorrhaging aggravated by a hasty, fatal delivery on a hard flat table while I endured indescribable pain. There are numerous documented cases of poor medical care in the camps. The Japanese nurses were average, but there were not enough of them, and the white nurses, with one or two outstanding exceptions, were largely what the Army, Navy Red Cross and civilian hospitals would not accept in spite of their great need. Let's move forward.
Historical memories are short.
We all have an obligation to the coming generations to keep our fellow citizens informed of past abuses. Otherwise, we as a people will keep repeating the same mistakes.
