Chapter 14 I’m afraid this is not a fake medicine.
Lao Jiang didn't hesitate at all. He directly asked the shopping guide in the drugstore for a bottle of Bai Shuke.
The shopping guide did not hesitate, picked up the medicine and handed it to Lao Jiang.
After completing the payment, Lao Jiang didn't even ask for the bag. He directly put the bottle of medicine into his arms.
This strange behavior made the shopping guide in the drugstore feel very puzzled.
But Lao Jiang didn't pay so much attention. After taking his own medicine, Lao Jiang quickly left the pharmacy.
On the way home, Lao Jiang felt that he was walking lightly.
He tightly clenched the bottle of medicine he just bought in his hand, for fear that the hard-won medicine would disappear from his hands.
After returning to the rental house, Lao Jiang secretly opened the door of his daughter's room. At this moment, his daughter was still sleeping soundly in bed.
Lao Jiang quietly placed Bai Shuke next to his daughter's bedside, wanting to give his daughter a surprise. After doing all this, Lao Jiang gently left the room and closed the door.
Back in the living room, Lao Jiang took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened WeChat excitedly.
In the WeChat list, the first item pinned to the top was a patient group called Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Exchange Group.
The group is filled with chronic myelogenous leukemia patients from all over the world. Lao Jiang learned many things that patients need to pay attention to from the patient group.
And now, Lao Jiang can't wait to share this exciting news with the group.
Everyone, I have good news. Do you know what I just saw in the pharmacy? Lao Jiang sent a message to the patient group.
Soon, someone replied in the group: What did you see, @Lao Jiang.
The ID that Lao Jiang uses in the patient group is his real name, and because he asks various questions on weekdays, he is basically familiar with him in the group.
If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. Everyone is very busy.
Yeah, don't be pretentious here.
Some patients in the group began to urge me.
I just went to the drugstore to buy medicine and saw a new drug.
I asked the nurse in the pharmacy, and she said that the new drug is as effective as Gleevec and can treat chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Lao Jiang's fingers were tapping rapidly on the screen of his mobile phone.
But unexpectedly, this news did not cause much response among the patients.
On the contrary, the group remained silent for a while.
After a while, someone slowly sent out a message.
Hey, I thought there was some good news.
Yeah, so what about the new medicine? We still can't afford it.
Maybe it's just a little cheaper than Gleevec. Let's talk about it. How many tens of thousands a bottle?
The patients in the group were not very interested.
Lao Jiang smiled when he saw the people in the patient group speaking. The thoughts of these people were exactly the same as what he thought when he saw Bai Shuke.
But things were not as simple as he thought. Lao Jiang sent a message in the group.
The price of this new medicine is only 500 a bottle!
For a moment, the entire group of patients fell into dead silence.
Even through the screen, Lao Jiang seemed to be able to see the surprise and disbelief on the faces of the patients in the group.
This brief silence was like the silence before the storm.
Then, the whole group boiled like boiling water.
500, real or fake?!
Lao Jiang, are you sure you didn't miss two zeros?
Lao Jiang, don't lie to me. Swear, you really are not lying to everyone.
Is this real medicine? Where did you buy it? Can you bring me two bottles? Please, Lao Jiang, I have been off medicine for two months.
Messages jumped out of the chat group crazily, and the entire group instantly became agitated.
When he saw the news from the patient group, Lao Jiang couldn't help but grin. He could imagine the expressions on the faces of the people behind the screen at this moment.
After all, he was shocked when he heard the price before.
That's right, I've asked carefully. The new drug is called Baishu Ke. A bottle only costs 500 yuan, and like Gleevec, it is a drug for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia.
If you don't believe it, you can go to the nearby big pharmacies. These medicines should be available in big pharmacies!
The news brought by Lao Jiang set off a storm in the group.
For these patients, who have become accustomed to the sky-high price of Gleevec, this news is undoubtedly as shocking as the impact of an asteroid.
You know, normally they wouldn't dare to think about this kind of thing.
Then we can't be saved! Someone in the group started to get excited.
We finally don't have to eat that Gleevec.
Yeah, 500 a bottle, only five to six thousand yuan a year!
At this price, I can just step out of the box and eat it.
Lao Jiang, you really saved everyone's lives today!
Faced with the ridicule of his fellow patients, Lao Jiang just smiled and replied in the group: I didn't save everyone, it was the people who produced this medicine who saved everyone.
Lao Jiang also understood why the people in the patient group were so excited. If there was no choice, who would be willing to take the expensive drugs.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the group was as lively as New Year's Eve, and everyone was immersed in the joy brought by the news.
However, at this time.
A sudden message popped up in the patient group.
A bottle of medicine costs 500 yuan. I'm afraid you bought a fake medicine. That's why it's so cheap!
The person who sent this message is a patient in the patient group with the ID name He Fang Shu Lai.
And this news was like a basin of cold water poured directly on everyone's heads.
Nowadays, counterfeit medicines are sold for two to three thousand, or 500 for a bottle. Hey, do you dare to take them?
He Fang was speaking in the group, and his words made Lao Jiang blush.
Lao Jiang quickly defended: No, that medicine is sold in a pharmacy, there can be no problem.
But the rats are unwilling to give up.
Is there no problem with medicines in pharmacies? Who told you that there are few cases of medicines in pharmacies having accidents?
You don't even think about it yourself, why does Gleevec sell for 40,000 per bottle? It must be because the medicine is good, the quality is guaranteed, and you can eat it without any problem, so it is sold at such a high price.
This 500-a-bottle medicine may not even be guaranteed by the manufacturer itself to cause any problems, so it is sold so cheaply.
A few short messages were like a basin of biting ice water, extinguishing the enthusiasm of other people in the group with a pop, and giving everyone a chill.
What was extinguished at the same time was the little hope that had just been ignited.
After a series of bombings by He Fang Shuren, for a while, the entire group of patients was silent.
Everyone fell silent, and an idea suddenly appeared in their minds.
Yes, this medicine is sold so cheaply, is there any problem?
