The next day, when Chen Xia was processing some accounts in the General Affairs Department, the phone rang.
Xuan Yongda's excited voice came from the receiver: "Hello, is this Chen Xia? Come to the gastroenterology department quickly. The stomach pills you gave me yesterday are effective, and the patients are waiting now."
"OK, OK, Lao Xuan, I'll be there soon."
Chen Xia snapped his fingers, and as expected, everything was under control.
At this time, the gastroenterology ward was quite lively. The patients who tried Chen Xia's pills yesterday felt obvious improvement today.
Especially the patient in bed 13, who was rolling around in bed with stomach pain yesterday, but today he can slowly eat porridge, which surprised his family members.
When Xuan Yongda got to work in the morning, before he could even start his ward rounds, he was surrounded by patients' families in his office:
"Director Xuan, are there any more of the pills we gave you yesterday? You have to give them to us today!"
"Yes, yes, my husband has had this problem for a long time. Every time he gets in pain he breaks out in a cold sweat. He took the pill yesterday and the pain went away that evening."
"Yes, yes, yes. Is Section Chief Chen still here yesterday? Why isn't he here for work so late?"
Xuan Yongda was confused: "Wait, what's going on with you guys?"
A patient came forward and said, "Director Xuan, we took the pills that the section chief brought us yesterday, and they're really working, better than a magic pill."
Xuan Yongda was also very happy to hear this. "Then you should go quickly. I'll ask Section Chief Chen to come over and do the ward rounds right away."
The effectiveness of the stomach pills means that Chen Xia’s theory of proton pump inhibitors is feasible and can be applied in clinical practice.
That means that if the four drugs are used together, the four hospitals will basically be invincible in the treatment of stomach diseases, and their gastroenterology department will become famous throughout the country.
Chen Xia came very quickly. This was related to his plan to make money, so he had no choice but to take it seriously.
The current monthly salary of 57 yuan in the General Affairs Department is like a joke to him. Not to mention supporting his family, he won’t even be able to afford to marry a wife in the future.
Some people may say that other people only have 20 or 30 yuan, but they are still getting married and having children. Isn’t it enough if you double the money?
Nonsense, who in this world would complain about not having enough money? There's no need to be hypocritical. The world is bustling with people seeking profit, and the world is bustling with people seeking profit. Beware of being struck by lightning if you try to act pretentiously.
As soon as Chen Xia entered the Department of Gastroenterology, he was surrounded by enthusiastic patients' families before he even put on his white coat.
"Section Chief Chen, do you still have the pills from yesterday? Can you sell some to us?"
"Section Chief Chen, that medicine is truly amazing! You're like the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, even better than any of their gastroenterologists."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Xia was so embarrassed that she almost got a burst of embarrassment. Xuan Yongda and the doctors around him were even more upset, and there were crows cawing above their heads.
"Don't worry, everyone,"
Chen Xia made a quiet gesture. "These stomach pills are a secret recipe passed down from our family. They're made with many precious Chinese herbs and honey bees. I even added ginseng, so they're quite precious. I don't have many pills left, and they're not cheap. You'd better think twice before buying them."
An old lady asked, "Tell me how much each pill is, and see if we can afford it."
"That's right. As long as it can cure the disease, it doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive. Chief Chen, what do you think?"
When Chen Xia heard the crowd was so enthusiastic, he originally wanted to extend three fingers, but temporarily added two more.
"It's 5 yuan a pill. A course of treatment for common gastritis is one week, and for severe cases it's two weeks. Of course, the magic of this medicine is that for mild gastritis, just one pill is usually enough to solve the problem."
Upon hearing the price, both the patient and the doctor were shocked.
My goodness, everyone’s monthly salary can only buy one course of stomach pills. This price is not just expensive, it’s too expensive.
Some people are hesitant, but there are also people who have money. Especially now, most of the people who come to the hospital for treatment are working class, who have monthly salaries and spare money, so the price of 5 yuan per pill cannot scare them at all.
The family of bed 13 was particularly generous and immediately took out 30 yuan from their pockets.
"Section Chief Chen, I'll take six pills first. Together with the one you gave me for free yesterday, it's just enough for a full course of treatment. I only have one husband. As long as he's healthy, this little money is nothing."
Chen Xia gave a thumbs up, this couple is definitely in love.
When something starts, there will always be followers.
Immediately, a second patient jumped out and took out 15 yuan to buy three pills.
Then a third and fourth person appeared. Chen Xia grabbed the pen and paper from the young doctor next to him and wrote down the name and bed number of the person buying the medicine.
"How about this? I'll give each of you one pill today. I don't have much stock at home, so I need to rush to make it tonight. I promise to deliver all of them to you tomorrow. Don't worry, I'm an employee of this hospital and I won't abscond with the money."
Everyone laughed. One of the patients recognized Chen Xia and said to the person next to him:
"Section Chief Chen is incredible. He also developed the effective flu medicine last year, and it was absolutely amazing. His stomach pills will definitely be effective this time."
After this amazing teammate boasted like this, everyone believed more in the effectiveness of Chen Xia's pills and spent money even faster.
There were no advertisements these days, but everything depended on word of mouth. Last year, Chen Xia established the foundation of selling "miracle drugs" among the people of Yuezhou because of oseltamivir.
However, the fact that Chen Xia dared to sell drugs so blatantly was also thanks to the lax supervision of this era.
Dear readers of the novel, please do not try to imitate this, otherwise you will not be able to escape the crime of "selling counterfeit drugs" and the Drug Administration will teach you a lesson in minutes.
Just as Chen Xia returned to his General Affairs Department, whistling contentedly, many employees from other departments came over and asked furtively:
"Section Chief Chen, are you out of the stomach medicine pills from yesterday? Can you give me some more? Everyone has been talking about it today. This medicine is really effective."
"Chief Chen, I voted for you back then. If you have any good medicine, please save a few pills for me."
Led by Qian Jun, the two young clerks from the Medical Department were even ready to rob openly, without even thinking about who was so afraid of being poisoned yesterday?
Chen Xia almost sprayed these petty-minded guys to death with a mouthful of salt soda.
"No more, no more. Yesterday they advertised these stomach medicine pills for 5 yuan each. Do you think they're cabbage? You can get them if you want them."
Now that he has a large number of orders in hand, he is of course standing taller, not trying to please others like he did yesterday.
Look, people are so snobbish.
Yesterday you ignored me, but today I’m out of your reach, huh.
