On the Upswing
Miraculously, on the fourth day of hospitalization, Anatoli began to move and function normally, despite the injuries to his face. This gave the doctors the opportunity to study Anatoli much closer. After taking an MRI of Anatoli’s head, the doctors could see a bright line of active radiation spearing through his brain and face. The doctors also reported that the nerves inside his face were still actively burning nearly five days after the incident.
