Chapter 283 A special medicine has appeared?
"What? Expert Huang, you said that Western medicine has a special effect?" Dean Chen asked in surprise.
Huang Jing nodded somewhat proudly: "Yes, we have found a Western medicine produced in Country B that is very effective against this infectious disease. Five patients in our group have recovered today after taking this Western medicine."
"Has he recovered? Why haven't I heard you, Expert Huang, mention this before?" Dean Chen asked puzzledly.
"I had no idea this Western medicine would be so effective, so I gave it to the patient as a last resort. The miraculous effect was beyond our expectations."
After that, he excitedly said to Minister Shen: "Minister Shen, let's quickly import more of this special medicine from Country B. Soon, tens of millions of our compatriots will no longer have to die from this infectious disease."
If Minister Shen had discovered such a special medicine before, he would have been very excited. However, after Lu Chiyu reminded him of the ancient medical precepts, Minister Shen now has doubts about the appearance of this special medicine.
He calmly asked, "I wonder how much this special medicine costs?"
The smile on Huang Jing's face faded a little, and he said awkwardly: "This... this medicine is a new antiviral drug developed by Country B not long ago. The price may be a little expensive.
But Minister Shen, I believe that nothing is more precious than the lives of the people. I suggest that our national treasury pay for this special medicine so as not to increase the burden on the people. What do you think, Minister Shen?
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhenli immediately said angrily, "Not very good. Huang Jing, have you lost your mind to research? Did the money in the national treasury just grow out of thin air? That's the money of all the people of our Red Country, okay? We have holes in our brains to let Country B make money."
Huang Jing was almost vomiting blood after being scolded. He hated this person who was his mortal enemy every day for ruining his plans at this time.
After a lot of effort, he calmed down and said, "But nothing is more precious than life. For the lives of the people, our Red Country has to pay this money."
"No need for it. Now we have my master's Chinese medicine prescription and no longer need this damn special medicine." Cao Zhenli said.
Seeing Cao Zhenli so brazenly calling a young girl his master, Huang Jing's disdain for him deepened, but he didn't show it. He pretended to be embarrassed: "But Comrade Lu Chiyu's prescription has just been used. The patient's condition has only improved, but the symptoms are still there. We can't guarantee that the patient's condition will not worsen in the future. So, to be safe, I think it's better to buy a special medicine."
"Bullshit, that special medicine of yours takes a few days to work, and my master's medicine has almost worked in just a few days."
Seeing Cao Zhenli repeatedly ruining his plans, Huang Jing was extremely anxious. Finally, he could no longer bear it and sneered, "Old Doctor Cao, it's not that I look down on you Chinese medicine practitioners, but your Chinese medicine treatments are too unscientific.
Now is an era of scientific development. Everything must be scientific to have a future. Otherwise, if we only focus on those feudal medical skills, the medical cause of our Red Country will only stagnate.
Have you forgotten that even after so many years of development in ancient times, our Red Country's medical level was still so poor that a cold could kill people and the average life expectancy was only 40 or 50 years old?
Therefore, feudal remnants are not acceptable. The higher authorities have held many meetings on whether to get rid of traditional Chinese medicine, which is a mysterious thing. We should support this action and let the medical cause of our Red Country develop scientifically.
Our medical field has lagged far behind that of developed countries, and we must now catch up with their Western medical technology.”
These words threw the face of the Chinese medicine doctors present on the ground, and Cao Zhenli was so angry that his beard stood up.
Even Lu Chiyu was so angry about these words. She knew that traditional Chinese medicine was looked down upon in this era, but she didn't expect it to reach such an extent.
However, while she was angry, she also felt Huang Jing's guilt. The other party's behavior made it seem like his true intentions were revealed.
However, while she was angry, she also felt Huang Jing's guilt. The other party's behavior gave people the feeling that he was going all out to get the special medicine.
And Lu Chiyu really guessed right. At the beginning, Huang Jing planned to wait until the death toll from the epidemic increased before coming up with the special medicine, because at this time the special medicine would become people's life-saving straw. The more afraid people are and the more they need the medicine, the higher the price can be sold and the better the reputation can be gained.
Unexpectedly, the prescription left by Lu Ruhai suddenly appeared and stabilized the death rate. Huang Jing saw that his goal was not achieved and decided to wait out of greed.
However, after waiting for a long time, Lu Chiyu showed up yesterday. It seemed that the other party was going to solve this infectious disease, so he hurried to take out the special medicine and sell it before Lu Chiyu's prescription could really cure the patient, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Country B.
It was because of his impatience that Huang Jing revealed so many flaws!
