My Shocking Story - Half Man Half Tree

" In the village, Dede is having breakfast."

" [unk]"

" He sits raised on a stool, as his hands are too large to reach the bowl."

" [unk]"

" He's excited, but nervous about meeting Dr. Gaspari."

" [unk]"

" Dr. Gaspari travels with Dede's father and brother to the village."

" Hello! I'm Dr. Gaspari."

" [unk]"

" He's already feeling the weight of responsibility. Single handed, he's giving Dede's family hope."

" I made it to the top of this muddy pathway without any major accidents."

" [unk]"

" I'm really anxious to meet Dede."

" Hello Dede! I'm Dr. Gaspari, and please to meet you. I've come from Baltimore, Maryland. I'm here to help you, find a way to help you get better. It's impossible to tell whether you're seeing the palm side of the hand or the top of his hand. I'm absolutely stunned, it's florid. I've never seen anything like this before. The impact of the condition on this young man's mental state is readily apparent. He said he's depressed and this really has him down."

" Dr. Gaspari confirms that it's warts, but establishing which wart virus strain is going to require medical research."
