Hua Tuo was a person from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, renowned for his exquisite surgical skills, and was also the first person in the world to use anesthesia during surgery. He was good at observing nature and understood how to learn medicinal knowledge useful to humans from it, so his methods of diagnosis and treatment were very diverse, different from the usual. The case of treating Guan Yu's flesh wound with a knife is one of the most well-known. In his later years, he treated Cao Cao, but due to Cao Cao's suspicion, he was sentenced to prison and later died in prison.
