Chapter 531: We can't be too selfish

Liang Ruoxu didn't understand clinical medicine, but he also realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Should it be a rare disease? With China's medical level, can it be cured?"
"It's a rare disease, and it can be cured."
"That's good." Liang Ruoxu said: "Although the child is a little small, as long as it can be cured, the problem is not big."
"Although it can be cured, it cannot be cured."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"The medicine for treating SMA costs 70 pieces. Even for the mildest symptoms, at least four medicines are needed to recover." Lin Yi looked at Liang Ruoxu, "How do you ask them to treat it?"
Liang Ruoxu was stunned, and his expression became silent.
When they met just now, the couple introduced their identities.
They came to work in Zhonghai from the county seat.
According to the current standard, the two of them work hard without eating or drinking, and they can earn 20 yuan a year, which is already the limit.
It takes three and a half years without eating or drinking, and you are still struggling to make money before you can get one.
If treated according to the mildest symptoms, it will take at least 14 years.
Even if they can persist, the children may not be able to persist.
As Lin Yi said, this disease can be cured, but it cannot be cured.
"If you are really diagnosed, will you choose to help them?" Liang Ruoxu asked.
"will not."
Lin Yi shook his head, "I am a human being, not a god. In China, there are even rarer diseases than SMA. Do I have to help every one of them? Even if I have such an idea, I can't help it. "
"I understand what you mean." Liang Ruoxu said, "Do you want me to call for fundraising and help them?"
"No." Lin Yi looked at Liang Ruoxu and said:
"You are a magistrate, and you know your own position better than me. Sometimes people must be cold-blooded, otherwise the order of the world will be messed up."
About half an hour later, Sun Dawei walked in from the outside.
"How's the situation?" Lin Yi asked.
"I only did a preliminary examination. I took the results and had a simple video consultation with several other directors. It was basically decided that it was SMA, spinal muscular atrophy." Sun Dawei said:
"When the doctors from other departments come tomorrow, let them do a comprehensive examination, and the diagnosis will be completely confirmed."
"What are you going to do with this disease?"
Sun Dawei shrugged his shoulders, "I can't help it. After the diagnosis is complete, I will let them go back. The Nocinogen Sodium for SMA costs 70 sticks, and it has not been included in the medical insurance. With their conditions, they must not be able to afford it." Yes, there is not much we can do, hey, poor boy."
"Okay." Lin Yi said:
"Let's just do our best, there are many things that can't be helped."
"Isn't that right?" Sun Dawei said, "I just sent away a patient like this half a year ago, and now another one comes in, and it can't be cured at all."
Lin Yi nodded, "Then let's deal with it in a conventional way, I'll go first."
"Okay, let's go out and have a drink."
"it is good."
Leaving the office, the two walked towards the parking lot.
"Why is this medicine so expensive?" Liang Ruoxu said:
"Did it monopolize the market like Pfizer?"
"It is true that they have a monopoly, but they are different from Pfizer, they are completely different in nature." Lin Yi said:
"Pfizer's Bulopin, there are many drugs of the same type on the market, but the effect is not as good as theirs. In addition, this is a standing drug for the cardiovascular system, which needs to be taken every day, so the research and development costs are shared among the general public. The patients actually didn't have much money, so at that time, I dared to blatantly bargain with them."
"But the treatment of SMA is different. As far as I know, the average time to develop this rare drug is about 13 years. How to consider the capital factor, the cost may be as high as 18 billion US dollars, and most importantly , Even if you put in the cost of time and money, you may not be able to succeed."
"From the selection of targets to the screening of lead compounds, to the 123 phase of clinical optimization, and then to the final application for listing, after more than ten years, the final success rate is less than 4%. If there is any problem in any link, it will be fatal. All of the investment is in vain.”
"And 13 years, 18 billion US dollars, is only for the successful drug research. Before that, there must have been countless failures, and these failed products also cost money, which is why it is so expensive, and the treatment It’s a rare disease, so it’s naturally expensive.”
Although Liang Ruoxu was an outsider who came here by air, after listening to Lin Yi's explanation, he completely understood what was going on.
There is nothing wrong with pharmaceutical companies. Compared with a fresh life, the figure of 70 is not expensive, but this cold weight is not something everyone can bear.
"There are still many rare diseases in the world, and the drugs for treatment are more expensive."
"Indeed, it's also a medicine for treating SMA, and there's also 1500 million pieces of Zogensma. The original price of Nocinogen Sodium was 87 yuan, but now it's dropped to 70 yuan. It's already been negotiated," Lin Yi said. :
"In addition, the drug for LPLD is sold for $121 million, the drug for UCD is $79, the drug for Pompe disease is $62, and the drug for hyperammonemia is $58..."
"There are countless rare diseases, and the cost of their treatment is astronomical for ordinary people. We cannot accuse pharmaceutical companies of profit-seeking. That would be too selfish."
"Huh~~~" Liang Ruoxu took a deep breath, "But for us, this is always a problem."
"That's right." Lin Yi shrugged, with a calm expression, as if he was used to facing such things, and said:
"With my current financial resources, it is no problem to help one person, or even a hundred, but in the face of the huge population base, the number of people suffering from these rare diseases is not a small number, and I really can't afford to help. "
"This matter seems to be the only way to go."
In fact, Liang Ruoxu and Lin Yi both faced the same problem.
They all have super personal abilities, and it's okay to help one or ten, but they can't help everyone.
As Lin Yi said just now, everyone is human, not god.
"That's the only way to go, let's put this matter aside for now, and don't think too much about it." Lin Yi opened the door and said:
"I have other things to leave beforehand, so I won't accompany you."
"I sold you such important information today, don't you want to express it?" Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi and said.
"Go to my house another day, and I'll cook for you. Let's have a candlelight dinner by the pool. What do you think?"
"not so good."
"Let me tell you, ordinary people can't eat the food I cook, you should cherish the opportunity given to you."
"Stop talking nonsense with me there, you just want to see me go swimming in a swimsuit!"
"Should it be a rare disease? With China's medical level, can it be cured?"
"It's a rare disease, and it can be cured."
"That's good." Liang Ruoxu said: "Although the child is a little small, as long as it can be cured, the problem is not big."
"Although it can be cured, it cannot be cured."
