     Yòu yǒu yī jùnshǒu bìng, tuó yǐwéi qírén shèngnù zé chài, nǎi duō shòu qí huò ér bù jiā zhì, wúhé qìqù, liú shū mà zhī. Jùnshǒu guǒ dànù, lìngrén zhuī zhuōshā Tuó. Jùnshǒu zǐ zhī zhī, zhǔ shǐ wù zhú. Shǒu tiánhuì jì shèn, tù hēi xuè shù shēng ér yù. [Pinyin]

     A prefect caught a disease. Hua Tuo held that if he flew into a rage, he would recover. He started accepting many of his gifts but did not give him any treatment. Then before long, he departed and left a note to curse him. The prefect exploded into such a wrath that he ordered someone to pursue after and kill him, but his son knew the reason behind it and told the one not to follow his father's order. The indignant prefect vomited litres of black blood, and then he regained health.
