Hua Tuo, a native of Qiao County, is also known as Fang. I have roamed and studied in Xuzhou, and I am familiar with several classics. Guo Peisi recommended him, and Qiu Huang Wan called him to serve, but he didn't take office. Hua tuo knows how to keep in good health. At that time, people thought he was nearly a hundred years old, but he still looked like a mature man. He is also proficient in prescription drugs. When he was treating a disease, he only used a few herbs to make soup. He knows the weight and proportion of drugs in his heart. He doesn't need to weigh again. After the medicine is boiled, let the patient take it, and tell the patient the contraindications or precautions. With Hua Tuo gone, the patient will be fine. If moxibustion is needed, there will be one or two acupoints, and each acupoint will have seven or eight moxa sticks. You should use your hands to eliminate the pain. If acupuncture is needed, just stick one or two acupoints and say to the patient, "Acupuncture induction should extend to a certain place. Please let me know if it arrives. " The patient said "here" and immediately took the needle, and the pain soon healed. If the patient's body accumulates and stagnates, the curative effect of acupuncture and drugs can't be effective. If you want to gut him, he should drink his own "Ma Fei San". After a while, the patient will be as drunk as death, so he will surgically remove the affected area and take out the accumulated material. If the patient is in the intestine, cut off the diseased part of the intestine, clean the wound and susceptible parts, then suture the abdominal incision and apply ointment. After four or five days, the illness recovered and the pain stopped. During the operation, the patient did not feel any pain, and the wound healed and recovered within one month.

Officials in yamen, Ni Xun and Li Yan, came to see a doctor at the same time. Both of them had headaches and fever, and the symptoms of illness were exactly the same. Hua Tuo said: "Ni Xun wants to get rid of evil spirits, and Li Yan wants to sweat out." Some people question these two different approaches. Hua Tuo replied: "Ni Xun is a disease of external fixation, while Li Yan is a disease of internal fixation, so we should treat it in different ways." Give them medicine separately at once and wait for them to get up together the next morning.

One day, Hua Tuo was walking on the road and saw a man with a blocked throat. He wants to eat, but he can't swallow it. His family forced him to seek medical treatment. Hearing the patient's groans, Hua Tuo stopped to see the doctor and told them, "There was a cake seller on the roadside where I came just now, with garlic and vinegar. You buy three liters from the shopkeeper to eat, and your illness will naturally recover. " They did as Hua Tuo said at once. After the patient ate it, he spit out a snake-shaped bug. They hung the bugs by the car and went to Hua Tuo's house to thank humbly. Before Hua Tuo went home, his two children were playing at the door and saw them head on. The children told each other, "It's like meeting our father, and the' patient number' hanging next to the car is proof." The patient came into the room and sat down. He saw about 12 specimens of this parasite hanging on the north wall of Huatuo's house.

Chen Deng, the magistrate of Guangling County, was ill. He was upset and depressed, his face was red, and he didn't want to eat. Hua tuo felt his pulse and said, "There are several liters of worms in your stomach, which will form a poisonous sore in your abdomen, which is caused by eating raw fish and meat." I immediately made two liters of medicinal soup, drank one liter first, and then drank all the medicine. After dinner, Chen Deng spits out about three liters of worms, and the reddish head of the worms will move, and half of the body is still raw fish, and the pain will be fine. Hua Tuo said: "The disease should recur after three years, and it can only be saved if you meet a good doctor." According to the expected time, the old disease recurred. Hua tuo was not there at that time. As Hua Tuo predicted, Chen Deng finally died.
