As a result, the disease was cured, but the parents thought it was too expensive and went to the media to complain. The bad media acted as moral judges without any investigation.
The focus of this incident should be that one injection of "nusinersen" costs 550,000 yuan.
But there is nothing we can do. The R&D costs are so expensive, and the number of users is so small. If we don’t increase the unit price, we won’t even be able to recover the costs. What is there to blame?
The hospital was extremely wronged.
What's the point of that? Can I not treat you in the future?
Of course, from a politically correct perspective, patients with rare diseases also need effective treatment, but the question is, if you are the boss of a pharmaceutical company, are you willing to do this kind of loss-making business?
Don't forget that your company does not belong to you alone. You are responsible to the board of directors and all shareholders. It cannot be generated by love alone.
Wait, I think we’ve gone off topic. Let’s go back to the pediatric ward of Yuezhou People’s Hospital.
Chen Xia picked up the stethoscope and listened carefully. The little girl had obvious wheezing, but the three-depression sign was not obvious. The condition was temporarily under control.
Chen Xia put away the stethoscope and said to Director Liu and the parents:

Before she could speak, the little girl on the bed suddenly shouted:
"Uncle, if I use the new medicine, will I really not get fat, darker, or uglier? I want to use it. I don't want an IV drip. I want to use the new medicine."
The parents were confused. Where did this little doctor come from? He suddenly said there was a new drug. What's going on? Is he using my daughter as a guinea pig?
Chen Xia was wearing a mask and his parents didn't recognize him.
Yao Yinping quickly introduced, "This is Vice President Chen from our hospital. He's no junior doctor."
"Vice President Chen? Chen Xia? The Laoshan battle hero?"
When Chen Xia heard this again, he immediately felt embarrassed and nodded politely: "I am Chen Xia."
The child's father slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, since you are Chen Yingxiong, we will accept you. You can try it out."
Chen Xia rolled his eyes after hearing this. "Why didn't you say it was Hua Yingxiong?"
Liu Shumei was rarely excited: "Xiao Xia, can we learn about your new medicine and new treatment?"
In an instant, the eyes of the young doctors behind him also lit up...
