Chapter eight hundred and nineteen heart-wrenching lines
"Watching this plot makes me a little worried..."
"I never expected that a doctor would say this. Don't the poor deserve treatment and live?"
"For doctors, the most important thing is that they do not take responsibility. In addition to the security of getting medicines in the hospital, in fact, these medicines are also linked to their income. Doctors will naturally hope that patients use genuine versions, but this doctor also
I’m not saying that pirated medicines are ineffective, but it’s just not recommended. After all, if the patients themselves have problems with taking this kind of medicine outside, they will be blamed for it if they come to them.”
"Although it is cruel, it is very realistic. Doctors have seen too many separations of life and death, so they become indifferent to the death of patients. However, it is still true, and it is still difficult to accept it emotionally."
"If you don't have money, you can only wait to die. This sentence is right. Nowadays, many families will be torn apart when they encounter serious illness. This is not without reason. The fundamental reason is still poverty!"
"I really shed tears when I saw this. I can't imagine if this happened to my family..."
"Hey, I kind of understand what Chen Mubai said before the movie started."
Everyone felt quite sad when they saw the conversation between Cheng Yong and Director Wang. Most people had about the same amount of wealth, and even well-off families would lose everything once they got this disease.
According to what the doctor said, a bottle of medicine costs 35,000 yuan and you have to take it for a lifetime. How much does it cost?
Ordinary families simply cannot afford it, so the experiences of Cheng Yong and other patients are understandable.
Now it seems that Lu Yiyi has no choice but to go to Cheng Yong. If he had money to buy medicine, he would definitely not choose this path. In the end, he still has no money. He has no money and does not want to die, so he can only take risks.
From Cheng Yong's conversation with Director Wang and his previous finding of Lu Yiyi's phone number, everyone already knows what decision he will make.
If he doesn't work hard, his father will have no money for medical treatment and will have no choice.
Cheng Yong looked at Director Wang's leaving figure and then saw the leukemia patient lying outside the ward. He had an oxygen tube on his nose and no hair on his head. He had obviously undergone long-term chemotherapy.
The whole person's mental state was depressed, he was as thin as a stick, his face was pale, and he looked like a weak and malnourished person. This was the appearance of being tortured by illness.
The scene changed, and Lu Yiyi was eating lunch with a group of people, and they put up a banner to protest that the price of Glenin was too high and they really couldn't afford it.
The people holding banners are either the patients themselves or have family members with this disease, so everyone is boycotting the sky-high price of drugs.
A general manager of a pharmaceutical company wearing a suit and sunglasses said to all the protestors: "I know that you have very strong opinions on the price of the drug Glenin produced by our company."
"Our company understands your demands very much, but please be clear that the prices of all drugs produced by our company are completely reasonable and legal."
The camera swept over and saw that these extras were all wearing masks. Although their faces could not be seen clearly, everyone's eyes had a desire to survive, which resonated with everyone.
"If the trouble continues, we can only choose to call the police." The general manager did not give in at all. After all, this is a life-saving medicine. No matter how expensive it is, people will buy it.
If the price is cheaper because of one incident, it will cause huge losses.
Moreover, there are always people who cannot afford medicine. If there is a commotion and the price is reduced, this is not an option. Naturally, they will not agree.
“You’ve lost your life, but you’re still afraid of the police!?”
"Why do you sell it so expensively?"
"Why? Why?"
The crowd was filled with indignation and expressed their anger one after another.
Some viewers whispered: "This cannot be said to be the problem of pharmaceutical companies..."
"As a matter of stance, every angle has its own difficulties."
"This is an unsolvable contradiction. The pharmaceutical companies are right and the protestors are right. This is the most terrifying thing."
In fact, everyone has seen this plot and still sympathizes with these patients. However, if you watch it from the perspective of a third party, you cannot blame the pharmaceutical company entirely. After all, it costs a huge amount of money and takes a long time to delay the release of a drug.
Time and research and development, these are all costs.
No matter how cheap a drug is, its research and development costs are high. The reason why the drug is expensive is that the research and development funds are high, and the huge investment in the early stage is for the return in the later stage.
If a huge amount of money is invested in the early stage but cannot be recovered in the later stage, then who will spend this energy and cost on drug research and development?
Lu Yiyi was also among this group of people. He knew that the protest had little effect, but he went anyway. This was to show his attitude that doing something is better than doing nothing.
He received a call at this time and Cheng Yong agreed.
"I brought the medicine back, are you sure you can help me sell it?" Cheng Yong looked at Lu Yiyi and asked.
Lu Yiyi saw that Cheng Yong was not very confident, and he replied seriously: "Okay."
"There are dozens of patients in our hospital, so it will definitely be possible."
Cheng Yong made up his mind: "I can make a trip, but you have to pay me first."
Lu Yiyi and the other two nodded.
Cheng Yong went to the United States alone. He took the address given by Melis and came nearby.
"I still need to find a translator!"
Cheng Yong was sitting in a fast food restaurant eating and called his smuggling friend, hoping he could help find a Chinese person who could translate in English.
"Help me find it. The speed has to be fast. I can give you a higher price. The person has to be reliable. This is a big event. We can all make money. It's very important. Do you understand?"
After hanging up the phone, he ate and waited for the other party's response.
He did not dare to find someone who could speak English in China to bring him a translator. After all, if the other party was in China, he might report him at any time. For safety reasons, he chose to go to the United States to find a translator.
Even if that person wants to report him, he is in China and the other party's impact on him will be limited.
"Are you looking for a translator? Can I do that?"
While Cheng Yong was eating, a sweet and pretty voice sounded.
"Huh?" Cheng Yong ate his burger and looked at the person talking to him.
The speaker is a beautiful and charming young woman. At first glance, she gives the impression of being very pure, as if she is innocent but not demonic. She is an Asian, wearing a hat and work clothes, clean and simple.
"Hello, I am Chinese, and I am an international student in the United States..."
Seeing Cheng Yong's gaze, Lin Ling was a little shy and her voice became a little softer, but she still finished her sentence.
"I just heard you talking about the medicine Glenin. If you want to find a translator, please contact me. I can do it!"
Cheng Yong looked at the girl. Although he was a little shy, he still mustered up his courage. He teased: "Why should I look for you? I don't know you. Do I look like a fool?"
A stranger asked him to be his translator, but he would not dare to agree. If he could just find a translator, why should he ask others for help?
In the final analysis, it is necessary to have reliable people.
"I'm Chinese and I will never lie to you!" Lin Ling explained immediately.
"Have you ever heard of a saying?" Cheng Yong sneered: "When a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, he stabs him in the back."
"I am an international student. My family is not rich. It cost a lot of money to send me here to study. I was diagnosed with leukemia not long ago, so I came here to work to earn money and want to treat myself."
Lin Ling began to talk about her life experience: "I have always concealed this matter from my parents because I was afraid that they would be worried, and I was also afraid that they would lose money on treatment because of my illness. I also have a younger brother at home, and I can't be so selfish.
"
"If I die, they will still have a child to accompany them. This disease is a bottomless pit. I don't want to bring down the family. I'm not afraid of death. I'm just sorry that I can't repay my parents in the future. I'm sorry for their expectations of me...
..."
Cheng Yong listened to Lin Ling's story in silence. This was also the first time he heard a self-report from a young leukemia patient. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, looking at her sincere expression, it didn't look like a lie.
"I know you may not believe it. After I get off work, I can show you my medical records and you can go investigate!" Lin Ling was afraid that Cheng Yong wouldn't believe it, so she quickly added.
Cheng Yong was silent for a moment and said, "I'll think about it."
"Thank you..." Lin Ling was overjoyed and immediately bowed to thank her.
Anyway, at least there is a chance.
Cheng Yong looked at Lin Ling smiling happily and innocently. Her simple and clean cheeks were still flawless without any makeup, like a piece of fine jade, warm and white.
He somewhat believed Lin Ling's words, because this girl gave him such a pure feeling that she didn't look like a liar, and her personality was also very gentle and polite.
These days, not many people will bow to others to express their gratitude when they are happy. Lin Ling just did it subconsciously. She is a girl who knows how to repay kindness.
Soon, Lin Ling got off work and took her medical list to Cheng Yong to check.
"If you can't understand it, you can search it online and convert the words and you can see it in Chinese."
Lin Ling knew that Cheng Yong's English was not good enough and he could only speak spoken English. It would be difficult for him to read a medical record, so she reminded him.
"Or you can call this hospital and ask about my situation."
Cheng Yong didn't make a call, but picked up his phone and briefly translated it. It was indeed true that there was no fraud.
Lin Ling's behavior is very upright. If she was a liar, she would definitely not remind her so much, which shows that she has a clear conscience. Cheng Yong did this just to confirm that he actually believed her.
"Ding ding ding~"
Cheng Yong's phone rang, and he asked the other party to help him find someone, and they had found him.
"I'm sorry, I have found a candidate, please excuse me." Cheng Yong declined the candidate politely.
When Lin Ling saw Cheng Yong rejecting the candidate recommended by her friend, her beautiful face instantly became surprised, and her big eyes also widened in surprise.
"Are you willing to hire me!?" Lin Ling was a little surprised.
Cheng Yong decided to use her before he even said anything to her?
"Yeah." Cheng Yong joked: "I believe you, a fellow countryman, don't lie to me!"
"No...it won't happen~" Lin Ling blushed and whispered.
Cheng Yong was indeed moved by Lin Ling, so he gave her this opportunity. Her situation made him feel intimidated.
Such an optimistic girl should not give up treatment like this. Cheng Yong feels it is a pity. He will try to persuade the other party to live a good life.
As a father himself, he knew more about parents' emotions towards their children. He believed that Lin Ling's parents would never want Lin Ling to make such a choice.
Everyone who loves each other will think about each other. This is family love.
