Chapter 5 I'm Not the God of Medicine

(A relatively novel angle, worth a look.)
After regaining consciousness, Meng Donglai opened his eyes to look at the surrounding environment.

This is a small, messy store. The shelves are filled with all kinds of sexual products. There is a door on the wall inside the store, and a lattice curtain is hung on it. It is hard to see what is inside.

Meng Donglai, who had watched the movie several times, recognized this place as Cheng Yong's small shop selling Indian oil.

Could it be that this time travel has become the protagonist?

Turning his head to look around, looking for mirrors or objects that could reflect light, Meng Donglai suddenly saw two men standing outside the door of the small shop, talking in a low voice, separated by a glass door, and couldn't hear what they were saying.

When Meng Dong came to observe the two of them, one of the younger ones also turned to look at him.

Cheng Yong!

Meng Dong recognized him immediately.

At the same time, the blurry image reflected on the glass door told Meng Donglai that he had become Lu Yiyi after time travel.

He dug out his pocket and took out an old-fashioned Nokia mobile phone. Taking a photo with the small screen, he confirmed that Lu had undoubtedly benefited.

"This start is much better than last time, at least it's a supporting role." Meng Donglai muttered to himself.

Jingling, wind chimes sounded, the glass door was pushed open, Cheng Yong finished talking with the hotel owner, walked in from the outside, took a look at Meng Donglai, went straight inside and sat on his boss chair.

Meng Donglai recalled his plan for the role of Lu Yiyi in his mind, instead of taking out the oranges in his pocket, he took off his mask and went straight to the point.

"I am a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia and need to take a drug called 'Glenin' for a long time."

In the real world, this drug is called Gleevec, but in the movie world it is called Glenin.

"Forty thousand a bottle of domestic genuine medicine, the Indian pirated version only costs 2000 yuan, and the effect is exactly the same. I need you, Boss Cheng, to help me bring a batch back from India. If you don't let you go for nothing, I will give you 3 yuan as a substitute." remuneration."

Meng Donglai spoke calmly, neither humble nor overbearing, and Cheng Yong's arrogance was also a bit unbearable.

"If you are caught smuggling drugs, you will be sentenced, do you know? With such a big risk, you only pay me 3 yuan for a trip?"

Cheng Yong didn't directly refuse, which meant that he didn't think taking medicine was too risky. Meng Donglai also knew that he was short of money. His father, son, rent, and ex-wife all combined to drive him crazy. up.

"High risk and high profit. How much money can you make selling a bottle of Indian oil? Selling Glenin is different. Two medicines with exactly the same effect have a price difference of [-]. You can sell one bottle of Indian oil for one." Thousand bottles."

Everything is false, only money is the most real.

With such a high profit, Meng Donglai did not believe that Cheng Yong would not be tempted.

"The effect of the medicine is exactly the same, but the price is [-] times different?" Cheng Yong couldn't believe it, and then started to chase people away.

"I asked someone to have it inspected and there is an inspection report. If there were no channels, I would have gone there myself." Meng Donglai was not angry and continued to add: "If you think I lied to you, I can go with you. We both bear the risk together."

In the movie, Lu Yiyi said that he was a patient who could not afford to suffer. There may be multiple reasons.

Now that Meng Donglai has crossed over, he specially gained a little physical fitness before the crossing. Now he feels that his body is not very weak. It should be no problem to fly. At the same time, he has already made a risk avoidance plan, so he is willing to go to India.

Now that it's all said and done, Cheng Yong can't refuse directly, so he can only evade and say, "Let me think about it."

"Okay, then let's leave a phone call, and you can think about it and call me."

"it is good."

"What's your phone number?" Meng Donglai, who was planning to write down the phone number, suddenly found that he had no memory of receiving Lu Yiyi, so he didn't know what his phone number was.

"138.....".

Meng Donglai dialed with his mobile phone, saved Cheng Yong's number, put on a mask, said goodbye and left the shop.

"I'll wait for the medicine to save my life." Meng Donglai didn't say this. He never planned to hang himself on Cheng Yong's tree from the beginning.

None of the three tasks were related to Cheng Yong, so in Meng Donglai's plan, Cheng Yong was not an absolute requirement.

Yes, better!It doesn't matter.

After leaving the oil shop, Meng Donglai found a bench facing the street, sat down and turned on the system, and began to receive Lu Yiyi's memories.

The memories of the past 30 years surged in, longer than Meng Donglai's own memory, and almost drowned him. If it wasn't because Lu Yiyi was a patient and his memory was relatively narrow, Meng Donglai really couldn't hold on.

After receiving the memory, more than half an hour had passed, rubbing his swollen and painful head, Meng Donglai stood up unsteadily and walked towards home.

After returning home, first find out the household registration book and ID card, and then go out to the Public Security Bureau to apply for a passport.

If something happened to Cheng Yong, Meng Donglai planned to go to India by himself.

Hindi LV1+English LV1, communication in India is not a problem, first buy some cheap medicine to hang your life, and then find a way to transport the medicine back to China.

The living can also be suffocated by urine.

Back home at night, Meng Donglai met Lu Yiyi's wife, who felt both familiar and unfamiliar, but Lu's wife didn't notice any changes in Lu Yiyi in front of her, and greeted him for dinner.

During the meal break, the two chatted about the day's affairs. On the way, Meng Donglai received a text message on his mobile phone from the leader of the patient group, saying that the patients were called to protest at Glenin's headquarters in China two days later.

Recalling the scene in the movie where representative Zhao was splashed with feces, Meng Donglai responded and planned to go to the scene to see the excitement.

When checking the information before, Meng Donglai understood that the high price of anticancer drugs has its root cause, and the most important factor is its development cost.

For example, the Swiss company Novartis, which develops and produces Gleevec in reality, spent about US$1997 billion on research and development between 2011 and 836. During this period, only 21 new drugs were approved, and the average cost of each new drug was US$40 billion.
Such high research and development expenses are allocated to the cost of pharmaceuticals, and the price of medicines will naturally not come down. The price of Gleevec is not the highest, and the price of some rare disease drugs is even more outrageous, with hundreds of thousands of dollars.

High drug prices make patients unable to afford it. Should the country force the price down?no!Because this will severely discourage the enthusiasm of pharmaceutical companies to develop new drugs. In the long run, the most serious harm is the absence of available drugs for diseases.

Saying this does not mean that Meng Donglai is on the side of Novartis in Switzerland. Statistics show that the price of Gleevec in China is the highest in the world.

There are many factors for the high pricing, such as rebates, subsidized medicine, gray space, etc., which cannot be elaborated (the country has changed later), and the most important factor is that Novartis Switzerland wants higher profits, so they don’t care Regardless of whether it is [-] or [-] yuan, poor people cannot afford the life and death of poor patients. It is better to use high prices to extract the wealth of the middle class and the rich.

To finally solve this problem, the state still has to step in. On the one hand, the state purchases in bulk to keep prices down, and on the other hand, enters the medical insurance state to subsidize it.

Before the country's corresponding policies come out, Meng Donglai intends to take advantage of his foresight to make money and at the same time help some poor people with the same disease as he can, so that he can complete task three without losing his heart.
