Chapter 438 We may be nailed to the pillar of shame and whipped repeatedly(1/3)
Under the steady bombardment of (Spider-Man 2) and (Jurassic Park 3), time is gradually entering the Spring Festival holiday in the Chinese world.
January 21st is already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month according to the lunar calendar, and tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.
In New York's Chinatown, Paul, a young rich man with type 1 diabetes, was arguing with an old Chinese man about something with an excited face. The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more...
It wasn't until Paul left angrily that a young man walked up to the old man and said, "Dad, what's going on? What was that guy arguing about just now?"
The old Chinese man took off his reading glasses with a look of helplessness, "He said that I helped him with acupuncture to treat diabetes, but it was completely ineffective, and there was nothing I could do about it. The same acupuncture technique, if used by different people, would have different effects, not to mention
I don’t even know what kind of acupuncture methods my colleagues in Hong Kong use.”
"Paul said that he met a famous Chinese medicine doctor in Hong Kong last year. With the help of Chinese medicine, acupuncture, dietary supplements, and exercise, his type 1 diabetes was improved in less than a month and he no longer needed to inject himself with insulin every day."
"But due to work reasons, he couldn't stay in Hong Kong Island. He couldn't transport medicine by air when he came back from Hong Kong Island. When he came back, he came to me for treatment..."
"I am not good at treating diabetes, and I don't know what prescriptions, acupuncture methods and food supplement packages my colleagues over there use. I tried my best."
"When someone scolds me for not being good at medicine, I have no choice but to admit it."
youth,"……"
The young man was in a daze for a while, then he tentatively said, "Paul, can't you ask about the prescriptions and acupuncture methods in Hong Kong? If it can be cured, you can spend a lot of money to buy it. Injecting yourself with insulin every day is quite painful."
The old man sighed, "This Paul is lucky. He met a master. Ten patients with the same diabetes went to the same doctor. The doctor gave him a treatment package of ten different treatments, and they were all effective... This is the Holy Hand of the Real Apricot Grove."
ah."
The young man took a long breath of air-conditioning. He also had a family tradition of medicine. He knew very well that if the same doctor treats the same disease, ten people would have ten sets of treatments?
Even if those ten sets may be 80% similar, there are only 20% differences.
That is indeed a master of the Xinglin Master level.
There are definitely universal prescriptions, but universal prescriptions are far less effective than a package that is specifically tailored to you.
While the two were talking, they were about to close the medical clinic when they heard another person walk in from the door, "Is the doctor here? Doctor, can you use acupuncture and Chinese medicine to treat diabetes here?"
"My name is Bob. I am a type 1 diabetic patient. I met a doctor on Hong Kong Island and helped me get rid of the dilemma of daily insulin injections. However, after I stopped taking the medicine for half a month, the condition worsened again..."
When the middle-aged man who called himself Bob walked towards the old man and asked expectantly, the old Chinese medicine doctor and the young man looked at each other.
Today is already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. If Paul hadn’t visited us many times before and had tried more than half a course of treatment, there would have been no need to open today.
After dozens of seconds of silence, the old man put on his reading glasses and said, "Sorry, I can't cure it."
Bob was anxious, "Why can't it be cured? It can be cured on Hong Kong Island. Not only did I get better myself, but I also witnessed hundreds of patients being cured and getting better..."
"I just don't have the money to stay on Hong Kong Island. I want to come back and work to make money."
The old Chinese medicine doctor smiled bitterly, "Do you have a prescription? If there is a prescription, I might be able to try it."
Bob, "..."
Although he has been undergoing treatment on Hong Kong Island for more than a month, acupuncture, drinking Chinese medicinal decoctions, dietary supplements and exercise packages are all followed every day, but it is too difficult for him to ask him to speak Chinese medicinal decoctions. He can’t speak Mandarin.
Only speaks English.
Besides, things like prescriptions also involve patents and so on.
The old Chinese medicine doctor smiled bitterly again, "Sorry, I can't help you."
At this moment, several cars stopped outside the hospital, and a group of men and women wearing FDA and HHS uniforms rushed into the hospital...
The leader grabbed his ID and said, "I heard that there are people practicing medicine illegally here? And selling drugs that are not approved by the FDA?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor rolled his eyes and complained, "Sir, I have an acupuncturist's license and a Chinese medicine practitioner's license."
At present, A-Mei’s family does not have a traditional Chinese medicine license, but more than 40 states and regions recognize acupuncture physical therapy, and certified acupuncture practitioners can practice medicine as an alternative or complementary medicine to Western medicine.
The leader waved his hand and said, "Search!"
A pair of old Chinese medicine doctors, father and son, and Bob as a patient, just watched the FDA and HHS first check the evidence in the medical clinic, and then rummaged through the boxes...
When it comes to some Chinese herbal medicines, some are seized and some are let go. At Amei's house, some Chinese herbal medicines are approved by the FDA to be sold as food. Of course, there are more that are not allowed to be sold and used to treat diseases.
The old Chinese medicine doctor looked calm, but in his heart he was filled with pity. Well, even if these type 1 diabetic patients could buy universal treatment soup prescriptions from Hong Kong Island, he probably wouldn't be able to get them all.
What a disaster!
What made him even more speechless was that after the FDA and HHS seized and took away a lot of Chinese herbal medicine, they gave him a big ticket before leaving!!
The old Chinese medicine doctor accepted the ticket speechlessly and said to Bob, "As you can see, it's not that I don't treat you, but that I can't do anything. There are also joint fines from the FDA and HHS. Don't come here next time."
.”
"I don't have much medicine left here."
Bob was stunned, "They are forcing us to use insulin? Counting you, it seems that more than ten companies have been closed down..."
The old Chinese medicine doctor's eyes widened, "What the hell? You already know that, and you've closed down more than a dozen of them? Then you're here to harm me?"
Bob then said awkwardly, "I just heard from some fellow patients that they also went back to California, Texas, Chicago and other places to seek medical treatment, and some Chinese medicine clinics were closed down and fined... I didn't expect it to spread to New York so quickly.
Already."
The old Chinese medicine doctor stared at Bob again, speechless.
Bob was so angry that he yelled into the air outside, "Fuck, are those guys forcing us to die?"
Tens of seconds later, the old Chinese medicine doctor sighed, "You should read the Ron incident reported by the Texas (Dallas Morning News), maybe it can give you some inspiration."
Only then did Bob's eyes light up, "Yes, I'm sorry, we have implicated you in this matter, but don't worry, I will come find you next time I have a chance..."
The middle-aged man looked messy.
Isn't it enough to destroy me once? Next time, he will definitely not accept these type 1 diabetic patients. After all, he also knows how much money the astronomical price of insulin in Amei's family can make Eli Lilly and other multinational pharmaceutical giants.
The person behind the push to close down medical clinics, and the fact that outbreaks occurred in many states under A-Mei’s family must be Lilly’s public relations push.
Let alone 1993 now, even in 2022, Eli Lilly will still generate sales of US$78 billion in the diabetes market a year!
Diabetics are their gold mine!
………………
New Year's Eve arrived as scheduled.
Zhao Donghuai spent a very reunited and New Year's Eve at the Dakeng Village villa. As soon as the New Year's Eve came, he watched a Yonggao movie in the luxurious screening room of his home, a New Year's film (Huatian) produced by Huang Baiming.
happy event).
The original version (Happiness in the Flower Fields) was released around this time, and won the box office championship in Hong Kong during the 1993 Lunar New Year season, with a box office of 35 million Hong Kong dollars in the city. The male protagonists of this version were still Zhang Guorong and Xu Guanjie, but the female protagonist was replaced by Liu Xiaoli as Bai Xue
Fairy.
It will also be released at 0:00 a.m. on the first day of the Lunar New Year in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Star, Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, and island countries.
On the big screen, Liu Xiaoli, who showed off all kinds of modern fashions and good figure as a mermaid, turned into a beautiful woman in ancient costumes. She is still worthy of her title as the most beautiful woman in Hubei Province.
Watching the lively New Year's comedy, Zhao Donghuai couldn't help but complain, "You said that if An Feng grows up and enters the entertainment industry in the future, if his acting skills are not up to standard, will he be complained about and even praised?
The second generation of stars are up?"
Zhao Donghuai is not sure whether An Feng in this dimension will join the industry and become a star. After all, Liu Xiaoli's wealth is constantly growing at this stage. Even if An Feng does not become a star in the future and becomes a simple second-generation rich man,
enough.
But if she joins the industry and fans compare her acting skills with her mother... maybe she will be criticized miserably??
Li Jiaxin let out a laugh and said, "That little girl is already six years old. Sometimes she can be a guest star. As long as she doesn't grow crooked, she won't have much chance of becoming an actress. At least she won't be able to escape the title of the most beautiful second-generation star.
ah."
"Many times, for the audience, it's not all about good looks, right?"
Guan Jiahui also joined in and said, "Yes, yes, I want to ask An Feng to endorse a wave of advertisements for my toy factory. Water Margin has been popular a few times, and Liang Shanbo's 108 heroes' ceramic dolls and clay dolls are on sale in sets. They are very needed.
A few bright child stars are here to promote it."
This version of Water Margin cannot promote the new sub-brand image of the Oriental and Five Thousand Years series of female luxury goods, but the belts, ties, wallets of the hero style are still very popular, and Li Xuejian's Song Jiang model cannot be sold...
…
But Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, etc. are still very popular.
Wanjia Instant Noodles no longer promotes collection cards. Instead, Guan Jiahui's toy and doll factory has launched a wave of money-making efforts.
Whether it's expensive or not is one thing, but whether you should buy it or not is another.
At this moment, Azhen walked in from outside the screening room and complained with a smile, "Boss, there was a New Year's call from Murdoch earlier. In addition to New Year's greetings, he also said one thing. Eli Lilly and other giants
Promoting the FDA and HHS to carry out various large-scale searches and seal up traditional Chinese medicine materials..."
"There are also various sky-high fines, and the traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Amei has suffered heavy losses. It is estimated that after the Spring Festival, there will be a wave of type 1 diabetes patients from North America coming to Hong Kong to seek medical treatment."
"Will they take action against Dr. Gu?"
Azhen was still talking when the mobile phone in her hand rang again. After he got through and chatted for a while, she hung up the phone and explained, "It was Chris, that ghost guy. He said that a senior executive from Eli Lilly contacted him.
Let him convey Lilly's goodwill."
"Well, Lilly won't do anything to Mr. Gu. He is an old Chinese medicine doctor who faces hundreds of millions of diabetic patients around the world. He will not be able to cure many people even if he is exhausted. Lilly doesn't want you to have any misunderstandings, boss."
There is nothing wrong with it. When the Chinese decoction formula for treating high blood pressure came out, it was a universal decoction that could be used by any doctor and it would be effective for most patients.
To be continued...
