In 1964, while serving as US Ambassador to Japan, Edwin O. Reischauer was stabbed by a mentally disturbed youth. He received a blood transfusion and recovered from the wound, but the transfusion inflicted him with hepatitis. He never fully recovered, and though he continued to work and lead an active life, he died of its complications after over 25 years. (Wikipedia contributors, “Edwin O. Reischauer,” Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edwin_O._Reischauer&oldid=412150287.)
