The delicious spotted fish soup couldn't calm down the heart. Gu Jun slept until midnight this night, and woke up with a start, covered in cold sweat.

He dreamed that another plague broke out in this world, people who had nowhere to ask for help, piles of corpses, and medical staff who were like corpse transporters. He dreamed of He Fenghe, an expert, holding an anti-inflammatory drug as if he had found a treasure , the streets of the dead city, not even crows perch...

He cried out to the sky in his dream, but the sky just sent a bigger storm.

He kept struggling, but there were fewer and fewer people around him, sacrifices, sacrifices, sacrifices, familiar people turned into photos on tombstones, thousands of miles away.

His hands were bloody, but he didn't save any people or relatives or friends.

"Hoo, hoo..." Gu Jun got up and sat on the bed, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, looked at the dimly lit surroundings, only the slight sound of the monitoring equipment in the ward, he suddenly felt a sense of nothingness in his heart, as if everything was nothingness .

No, this is not correct, this is useless, I have to cheer up quickly...

Gu Jun immediately shook his head violently, until the peek skull ached.

Don't be decadent, don't sink into these emotions, hold on even if you feel sad, cheer up quickly, there is not much time left.

Otherwise, the scene in the dream may come true.

Gu Jun thumped his heart again, it made a loud bang, his heart beat faster immediately, and the hard-to-express chest tightness was also relieved a little, but those messy thoughts surged up again, this world must Make some changes to relieve pain, relieve more pain...

The more suffering in this world, the more serious the disease will be, and the sooner it will collapse and be fragmented.

On the contrary, the less suffering, the less suffering caused by disease, the weaker the dark forces will be, and the healthier the world will be.

These ideas may not be the mechanism of hemoptysis, but this will definitely inhibit the resurgence of negatively selected life...

That day, among the fragments of consciousness triggered by Yu Chi, many patients initially wanted to live with hope, to live like ordinary people, to run, to walk... these things ordinary people would not care about at all. , but it is a luxury they strive for.

After hope is shattered again and again, it is also the reason that makes them fall into the dark side...

In the face of disease, no one can stay out of it, because anyone may suddenly have a serious illness, or the offspring may suffer misfortune.

Gu Jun scratched his head and looked at the clock on the wall over there. It was more than three o'clock in the morning, and it was still time to go to bed, but he really couldn't wait any longer. He reached out and pressed the calling bell beside the bed, and said, "Hello , I request to talk to Lord Tong, there is something very important."

Immediately, a voice from the service desk came out of the pager: "Okay, please wait a moment, Doctor Gu, and I will contact Master Tong for you."

Master Tong is now a big shot in the bureau, and he is doing practical things. He is very busy every day. Not everyone can directly pull him out of his rare sleep. Gu Jun was one of the people who could do this. Within five minutes, Master Tong's confused and anxious voice came from the beeper.

"Ah Jun, what's the matter? The call has been encrypted, so tell me quickly."

"Master Tong, we need to take practical actions to relieve more suffering in this world."

Gu Jun spoke very seriously to show that he was sane and understood the difficulty of doing these things, as well as the seriousness and urgency of the situation.

"To put it simply, the two worlds of Tianxuan and Profound Realm must quickly realize free medical care for all, and the situation that there is no money for medicines can no longer exist. Also, gather all pharmaceutical companies and scientific research companies, share technology, invest funds, and gather talents , to conquer more diseases.”

Master Tong was silent for a few seconds before he said, "It's so big?"

Master Tong is not the kind of person who follows the rules. When he was young, he was only more contemptuous and unrestrained than Gu Jun. Many of the ideas he put forward were shocking at the time and even now, but even so, and since he was in a high-ranking job Knowing more difficulties personally...

So what Gu Jun said now still gave Master Tong a great impact.

This is not a change that can be achieved all at once, and all aspects involved behind it cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

It can even be said that there are no experts and scholars in the Tianxuan and Tianxuan worlds who can make this matter a truth.

"I know, it's like talking in a dream, suddenly asking for the harmony of the world..." Gu Jun was anxious before, but the more he talked, the calmer he became, because the more he talked, the more certain he was that he had to do this thing, "If it can't be realized, Master Tong, our human civilization can't last long."

Looking at the darkness around him, he suddenly shuddered again.

In the past few days, he learned about some medical conditions that were not clear before, especially the current status of the diseases revealed by the fragments of consciousness.

"Hemophilia, because of congenital coagulation dysfunction, patients usually start from toddlers, manifested as various bleedings of varying degrees. Normal activities may also cause joint and muscle bleeding; severe patients will also bleed spontaneously, Even if you sit still, you will find that your body is bruised when you wake up.

Too many joint bleeds can cause irreversible damage, progress to hemophilic arthritis, pain, deformity, disability, and poor quality of life. These patients are like being cut by a knife all the time. Children can barely live a normal life. By the time of adolescence, the joints are worn out and almost use a wheelchair. Master Tong, do you know that domestic universities can refuse to admit hemophiliacs, even if you pass the exam, they don't want you, there is no legal problem. Some patients were also rejected in the same way.

After hemorrhage, hemophiliacs can inject coagulation factors to obtain treatment with a drug half-life of about 10 hours, but the cost is high, and domestic medical conditions are limited. Even in places with good conditions abroad, preventive treatment with three injections per week will improve the quality of life. It is still a problem, and the joints are still slowly diseased.

Emicizumab, a newly launched bispecific antibody drug, has a different pharmacology from coagulation factors. It is injected subcutaneously once a week or a month. A sufficient dose can greatly improve the coagulation level of hemophilia patients. The drug The half-life is one month, and the patient can achieve zero bleeding in a year, and can go to school, work, and live like a normal person. Although the irreversible joint disease will not be repaired, the disease is considered cured.

For an adult patient with a body weight of 50kg, the annual cost of this drug in China will exceed 1.2 million.

Master Tong, without medical insurance reimbursement, how many years would it take for an ordinary family to earn 1.2 million without eating or drinking

Hemophilia has become a poor disease.

There are too many poor diseases like this that have medicine but no money, and so on. Master Tong, I'm a medical student. I didn't know that there are so many... poor diseases.

why? Why? Many people say that because pharmaceutical companies need to earn back their research and development costs during the patent period, it costs money to develop a drug, and it also costs money to produce a drug. But last year, the world's top ten pharmaceutical companies, such as Roche, the company of Emerizumab, had an annual net profit of more than US$10 billion. They made money, and they made a lot of money. "

Gu Jun was talking to himself, the surrounding darkness seemed to be holding his throat, making him unable to breathe.

"Master Tong, I don't understand economics, and you probably don't understand either. What I understand tells me that we are engaged in a tug-of-war...

We need to treat more patients, and the progress of modern medicine must benefit more people, so that more difficult patients can be treated and escaped from their predicament. If there is money but no medicine, then the level is not enough, but if there is medicine but no money, it will only bring more pain to the world... "

Gu Jun took a deep breath, "We can't just stop those evil believers from making the world worse, we also want to make the world better.

Pharmaceutical giants all over the world need to integrate their profits, patents, and research and development... There is a need for a universal medical insurance plan that can benefit everyone in the Tianxuan and Tianxuan realms. Putting aside prejudices and interests, there is only one pure goal: more likely to give health to the world. How to make money for manufacturing companies, how to distribute profits, how to maintain driving competitiveness... I can't tell, but if this continues, hemoptysis will appear sooner or later, or another disease, another more powerful Legionnaires' disease. The world needs to change... ”

Gu Jun muttered, his words were messy, and some sayings were repeated over and over again.

But Master Tong could understand what he said, and there was a deep breathing sound from the intercom.

"Ajun, I understand. I fully support what you said. I worked my life to promote what you said. But I can tell you right now that things will not go well. This matter is too serious. It's difficult. You know it too, don't talk about it, even the construction of Goa and Tianxuan General Administration did not go so smoothly."

Gu Jun knew, knew that what he said was like a dream...

"Master Tong, tell everyone that no matter how difficult it is, we must do it. Otherwise, the next epidemic, the next disaster, may come tomorrow, and maybe they will die by then."

It is the middle of the night after all, Master Tong sighed: "No matter how urgent things are, you should take good care of your wounds first, get a good sleep, and talk about it tomorrow."

After the call ended, Gu Jun didn't go to sleep right away. He looked at the ceiling, his heart was churning. There is only one disease in the world, poor disease...

He also remembered that at the high school graduation banquet, he had received the eight-year admission letter from the School of Medicine of Dongdae University, and he pretended to be high-spirited and said that to his classmates.

He also remembered that when he was in junior high school, there was a classmate in the class who was very smart, very good, gregarious, kind, and was also favored by girls. His witty speeches in class always made the whole class laugh. Later, I didn't know why I dropped out of school, saying it was because of my health.

That classmate, who is very weak, never goes to physical education class... Maybe, he is a hemophiliac.

Is that student in pain now? At this moment, how many people are suffering from such and such pain

Gu Jun felt as if his whole body was being tightened by an invisible strange force...

Again, he seemed to hear the lingering voice of negative selection.

Poor disease, can you cure it

must be cured

Doctor Gu, it's useless.

The medicine in the alien world is so much ahead of the earth world, and their beliefs ensure that everyone's illness can be cured, but they are still heading for destruction.

Because differences will form new diseases, and diseases are an artificial definition. As long as there are differences, new diseases will continue to appear. There will not be a world where everyone is healthy unless everyone has no differences.

no no…

Gu Jun's face tightened, the more he thought about it, the more impatient and determined he became.

No matter how difficult it is, I am willing to give it a try.
