I Randomly Have a New Career Every Week

Liang Ruoxu didn't understand clinical medicine, but he also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"It should be a rare disease, right? With China's medical level, can it be cured?"

"It's a rare disease, but it can also be cured."

"That's good." Liang Ruoxu said, "Although the child is a little small, as long as it can be treated, it won't be a big problem."

"Although it can be cured, it cannot be cured."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"There are 700,000 pills to treat SMA. Even if the symptoms are the mildest, it will take at least four pills to heal." Lin Yi looked at Liang Ruoxu, "How do you want them to treat it?"

Liang Ruoxu was stunned and his expression became silent.

When they met just now, the couple introduced their identities.

They came to Zhonghai from the county town to work.

According to current standards, the two of them work hard, without eating or drinking, and can earn 200,000 yuan a year, which is already the limit.

It takes three and a half years without food and drink, and you have to work hard to make money, before you can get one.

If treated according to the mildest symptoms, it would take at least fourteen years.

Even if they can persist, the children may not be able to persist.

As Lin Yi said, this disease can be cured, but it cannot be cured.

"If they are really diagnosed, will you choose to help them?" Liang Ruoxu asked.

"Won't."

Lin Yi shook his head, "I am a human, not a god. There are rarer diseases than SMA in China. Do I have to help every one of them? Even if I have such an idea, I can't help. "

"I understand what you mean." Liang Ruoxu said, "How about I call for funds to help them?"

"No." Lin Yi looked at Liang Ruoxu and said:

"You are a local magistrate. You know your position better than me. Sometimes people must be more cold-blooded, otherwise the order of the world will be disrupted."

About half an hour later, Sun Dawei walked in from outside.

"How is the situation?" Lin Yi asked.

"Only a preliminary examination was done. I took the results and conducted a simple video consultation with several other directors. It was basically decided that it was SMA, spinal muscular atrophy." Sun Dawei said:

"When doctors from other departments come tomorrow, let them do a comprehensive examination and the diagnosis will be completely confirmed."

"What are you going to do about this disease?"

Sun Dawei shrugged, "There was nothing I could do to help. Once the diagnosis was complete, I sent them back. Nosinaxin sodium to treat SMA costs 700,000 per tube, and it is not included in medical insurance. Given their conditions, they definitely cannot afford it. Yeah, there's not much we can do, hey, pity the kid."

"Okay." Lin Yi said:

"We just have to do our best. There are many things we can't do."

"Isn't it?" Sun Dawei said, "I just sent away a patient like this half a year ago, and now another one has come in, and I can't even cure him."

Lin Yi nodded, "Then let's deal with it in the normal way. I'll leave first."

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, come out and have a drink."

"good."

Leaving the office, the two walked towards the parking lot.

"Why is this medicine so expensive?" Liang Ruoxu said:

"Is it the same as Pfizer, which monopolizes the market?"

"It is true that they have a monopoly, but they are different from Pfizer. They are completely different." Lin Yi said:

“Pfizer’s ibuprofen has many similar drugs on the market, but the effect is not as good as theirs. In addition, it is a common cardiovascular drug that must be taken every day, so the research and development costs are spread to the vast majority of people. The patients actually didn’t have much money, so I dared to bargain with them blatantly at that time.”

"But nosinaxin sodium to treat SMA is different. As far as I know, the average time to develop this rare drug is about 13 years. Taking into account capital factors, the cost may be as high as 1.8 billion US dollars, and the most important thing is , even if you invest, the cost of time and money may not necessarily lead to success.”

"From the selection of targets to the screening of lead compounds, to the 123 phases of clinical optimization, and finally to the final application for marketing, after more than ten years, the final success rate is less than 4%. If there is a problem in any link, it will As a result, all the investment was in vain.”

"And 13 years, 1.8 billion US dollars, just for the drugs that were successfully researched. Before that, there must have been countless failures, and these failures also cost money. This is why it is sold so expensive, and the treatment It’s a rare disease, so it’s naturally more expensive to sell.”

Although Liang Ruoxu was an outsider who came by air, he fully understood what was going on after hearing Lin Yi's explanation.

The pharmaceutical companies are not wrong. Compared with a fresh life, 700,000 is not expensive, but not everyone can bear this cold weight.

"There are many rare diseases in the world, and the drugs to treat them are probably more expensive."

"Indeed, the same drug for treating SMA is Zolgensima, which costs 15 million a tube. The original price of Nosinacin sodium was 870,000, but now it has been reduced to 700,000. We have already negotiated a lot." Lin Yi said :

"In addition, drugs to treat LPLD are sold for US$1.21 million, drugs to treat UCD are sold for US$790,000, drugs to treat Pompe disease are sold for US$620,000, and drugs to treat hyperammonemia are sold for US$580,000..."

"There are countless rare diseases, and the cost of their treatment is astronomical for ordinary people. We cannot accuse pharmaceutical companies of being profit-seeking. That would be too selfish."

"Huh~~" Liang Ruoxu took a deep breath, "But for us, this is always a problem."

"That's right." Lin Yi shrugged, with a calm expression, as if he was used to facing such things, and said:

“With my current financial resources, it’s no problem to help one person, or even a hundred, but in the face of the huge population base, the number of people suffering from these rare diseases is not a small number, and I really can’t help. "

"This seems to be the only way to go."

In fact, Liang Ruoxu and Lin Yi, UU read the book www.uukanshu. net are facing the same problem.

They all have super personal abilities, and it’s okay to help one or ten people, but they can’t help everyone.

As Lin Yi said just now, we are all humans, not gods.

"That's all we can do. Let's put this matter aside for now and don't think too much about it." Lin Yi opened the car door and said:

"I have other things to leave first, so I won't accompany you."

"I sold you such important information today, don't you want to express it?" Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi and said.

"Go to my house another day. I'll cook for you. Let's have a candlelight dinner by the pool. What do you think?"

"not so good."

"I'm telling you, most people can't eat the food I cook. You should cherish the opportunity given to you."

"Stop talking nonsense to me, you just want to see me go swimming in a swimsuit!"
