    Он был уже так слаб от двенадцати (уколов), уже (врачи) качали головами над его анализами крови, - а надо было выдержать ещё столько же? Не мытьём, так катаньем болезнь брала своё (Солженицын 10). Не was so weak from the twelve (injections) he had had-already they (the doctors) were shaking their heads over his blood count-might he really have to endure the same number again? By hook or by crook the disease was overpowering him (10a).
