梅雪争春未肯降,___________________。 答案:骚人搁笔费评章3、Part of David’s heart muscle
grew thick and stiff, keeping the flow of blood. The disease David had
lived with for 17 years was slowly keeping his heart from beating.
The night Flora bent forward in
front of her computer, everybody else was asleep. for the price, or keeping her
husband alive? To do that, she needed to search for the information: a place
and someone to fix David’s damaged heart. And she needed to be lucky.
Finally, she found what she needed
on a magazine’s web
site. When David came into the study early the following morning, she said, “I’ve found it.” and
handed him the papers.
David wondered if there was any
other way. Then he thought about his wife and kids. He stared at the papers.
Only he could make a choice: Should he have the same surgery (外科手术) that had killed his father, or
the one that no one works? This experimental treatment might be his best hope.
The operation theatre was kept
freezing cold. David wasn’t frightened, just nervous.
He felt a burning pain, like a
burning knife cutting through his heart…
On the EKG screen, the tiny valley
in the middle of each peak (高峰) —showing a sign of David’s disease—smoothed out. For the first time
in years, he had a normal arterial (动脉) pressure.
“That’s the most unusual thing,” said Flora,
excited by the results.
Three days later, David and Flora
drove home after the fight from Houston. Their kids ran out to meet them.
