Hathaway looked at the broken stone in confusion. Yes, it was a broken stone.
In her eyes, this piece of broken stone was given to her for nothing, and she found it troublesome.
This stone has a strange shape and is full of holes. It is thin and long, has a strange appearance, and is indescribably ferocious and ugly.
She had goosebumps all over her body and had a chilly expression on her face.
Thomas laughed loudly, "Baby, I actually don't appreciate the aesthetics of the Chinese people. They always like some twisted and weird things. A good plum tree must be twisted into various exaggerated shapes with wires. This kind of
The same goes for stones. Mr. Mi Fu, a calligrapher and painter during the Northern Song Dynasty of China, proposed the "thin, wrinkled, leaky, and transparent" criteria for evaluating Taihu stones in his "Garden Stone Spectrum". The traditional evaluation criteria for Taihu stones are still used today.
.”
Hathaway shook his head and said, "I still can't appreciate it."
"Hahaha, they have a unique understanding of aesthetics. I don't like it either, but it doesn't stop this thing from being valuable. Hahaha"
Hathaway shook her head and pushed her father back. There was a lot of dust here, after all, it was all under construction.
"Mr. Thomas, the doctor would like to discuss your condition with you."
As soon as I came out of the garden, a nurse came towards me.
Hathaway pushed Thomas to the living room. Lin Miao came over and shook Thomas's hand and said, "We have prepared a treatment plan. The doctor wants to talk to you."
Thomas nodded, knowing that it was time to talk about his condition.
Ms. Han Chunlai is about thirty-five or six years old and I have met her once before.
She opened the file and said calmly: "I have studied your medical records in the past three days. Your condition is very serious. If nothing happens, you may have another stroke within ten days. This time it is more likely to be bad than good.
, you will be completely paralyzed and even delirious until your final moments.”
Thomas nodded. His attending physician said the same thing before he came.
"Is there anything you can do? After all, I came here with high hopes."
Ms. Han Chunlai nodded, "If you don't treat your current situation, you will definitely give up your life. However, if you treat it, we can only give you strong drugs, which is dangerous. We are only half sure. If it fails,
Your life will be in danger. If successful, in the best case, you will recover within half a year. Of course, if you give up treatment, it will not be life-threatening, you still have at least one and a half months. We use special herbal medicine to give
Maybe it can be extended to three months if you take care of it."
Thomas swallowed. He was a little nervous. This choice was not easy.
"Can I ask where the danger comes from?"
Han Chunlai said: "There are several herbs in the prescription we prepare for you that are highly toxic and will cause damage to your liver and kidney function. They are even dangerous to a certain extent. You need to sign a disclaimer before we can give you the medicine."
"If it succeeds, how effective will it be?" Thomas is obviously more concerned about the effect.
"It can be extended for at least a year, or even cured. However, even if you are cured, you must maintain the lifestyle and food structure we set for the rest of your life, and you cannot live as before," Han Chunlai said calmly.
Thomas lowered his head and thought for a while, his face gradually became firmer, "An extra month is meaningless. I choose treatment, and I am willing to sign a disclaimer."
Han Chunlai smiled and nodded, "You have made a wise choice. This treatment will take half a month and may be very painful, mainly due to headaches. I hope you are mentally prepared for this."
Thomas smiled. He was a two-meter-tall strong man with a strong will. He had fought in the Foreign Legion for many years in his early years. He didn't think there was any pain that he couldn't bear.
That day, after groups of doctors gave Thomas a comprehensive examination, in the evening, a beautiful nurse brought a bowl of dark soup.
Hathaway was sitting next to her father, and when she smelled it, she felt it was super bitter, and even had a spicy taste that went straight into her nose. Just looking at this thing made her feel very uncomfortable, and she actually wanted to drink it while it was hot.
The nurse lady fixed Thomas on the chair, and the leather buckles fixed his wrists, waist, legs, chest, and ankles.
Then with Hathaway's help, he drank a small bowl of dark concoction in one gulp.
"Hahaha, Angel, do you know that the trick to drinking Chinese medicine is to be determined and swallow it in one gulp, so that you drink it before you feel the bitter taste. You must not be afraid of bitterness. Drinking it sip by sip will make you suffer even more.
,Hahaha"
At this time, Dr. Han Chunlai also came with his medical team. They needed to stay aside to avoid danger.
"Can I drink some water? This thing is too bitter and it burns my mouth." Thomas asked. At this time, the bitter taste began to react.
"You can't drink water. You have to drink this glass of white wine." Ms. Han Chunlai pushed her eyes with her slender white fingers and said calmly.
"Why do you want my father to drink? He has a stroke and cannot drink, especially China's strong liquor," Hathaway protested.
"Because this glass of white wine is the medicinal primer for this bowl of soup. Well, do you know what the medicinal primer is for?" Han Chunlai seemed to feel that she didn't quite understand Chinese medicine.
"Hahaha, I know, the primer is equivalent to the detonator that detonates explosives. The primer can detonate the bowl of soup, hahaha, bang!" Thomas made an explosion gesture.
Han Chunlai laughed. This Mr. Thomas is quite humorous and has a certain understanding of Chinese culture. I heard that he is an antique customer of the superior group.
After Thomas drank a glass of white wine, the effect was immediate.
He felt that his whole body suddenly became hot and he began to sweat profusely. Soon, there was a bead of sweat hanging from every pore.
"Hey, I feel like my whole body is filled with cool breeze. It's still swishing around." Thomas said in surprise.
The feeling of the cold wind walking along the bones is so strange.
These cool breezes come out from the inside of the body and run along the bones to the ends of the limbs, whizzing through the bones of the palms and soles of the feet towards the fingers and toes until they are expelled from the body.
Han Chunlai explained: "Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a stroke, a stroke, is caused by blockage of the brain's arteries. To treat wind, you must first treat the blood, and then the blood and wind will disappear. Only by expelling the wind evil from the body first can the work of unblocking the blood vessels be carried out."
Half an hour later, Thomas felt the wind all over his body disappeared. He felt as if his body was exhausted and he was sweating profusely.
Han Chun came to take a look at the situation and nodded with satisfaction. This recipe was an ancient recipe, and many of the herbal and animal medicinal materials in it could no longer be found today.
In this situation, today's traditional Chinese medicine is helpless. After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. She knows that there is this prescription, but the medicinal materials are not available.
I don’t know who the boss behind this organization is, but he can even prescribe medicines that were not available in the Qing Dynasty.
At that time, my jaw almost dropped.
"Put a folded washcloth in Mr. Thomas's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue, which will cause pain soon."
Hathaway looked at the nurses in horror. They roughly stuffed a folded towel into her father's mouth and sealed it with tape.
If she hadn't known that this was an expensive high-end medical institution, she would have almost thought that this was a kidnapper's lair.
