I can extract side effects

Eagle Country, Angel City.

Li Senqiang took his elderly parents off the plane. After a 12-hour long journey, the three of them felt very tired.

He brought his father with terminal lung cancer to Yingguo for treatment. During a routine physical examination three years ago, Li's father was diagnosed with stage Via squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, which is the terminal stage of lung cancer.

In the past three years, Li Senqiang's family took his father on a long journey to seek medical treatment.

At the beginning, he sought medical treatment in a large domestic hospital. After a long period of chemotherapy, Li's father's cancer did not continue to worsen. Drug resistance also developed, and Li Senqiang couldn't help thinking of going abroad for treatment.

After many inquiries, he finally learned that the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Eagle Country is very famous all over the world, and there are many new drugs that have not yet been approved in China to try, and proton radiation therapy and other technologies are also very mature.

Since the family's economic conditions are not bad, in order to help his father get out of the pain as soon as possible, he made up his mind to go abroad for treatment.

Now that we talk about going abroad for treatment, we have to talk about medical intermediaries.

Ordinary people want to go abroad to see a doctor, but because they have no relatives or reasons abroad, they have no way to start. Even if they can search for some relevant information on the Internet, they can only be used as a reference. Therefore, special intermediary agencies have sprung up to help Chinese people go abroad to see a doctor and make money from it. Take service charge.

This has become an industry with good and bad, and there are so many ways in it, it is easy to be deceived if you are not careful.

Because the situation in foreign hospitals is very complicated, domestic intermediaries will take advantage of information asymmetry, publicize, and mislead patients, making patients think that only by cooperating with them can the treatment in the hospital go smoothly.

After many visits, Li Senqiang chose one of them, because he was going to take his elderly parents with him. He ordered an all-inclusive package, which includes round-trip air tickets, accommodation, translation, services, and local transportation. It costs about 120,000 a month. RMB.

This agency seems to be quite reliable, not only has a branch in China, but also has a company and full-time service personnel in Eagle Country.

So, with full expectations, Li Senqiang came to Eagle Country with his parents.

Walking out of the terminal, an enthusiastic middle-aged Chinese man greeted him.

"Hello, I'm an employee of H Agency. You must be very tired. I'll take you to your place right away."

Li Senqiang followed the agent and drove to live in an apartment near the MD Anderson Cancer Center.

This is a two-bedroom apartment, which is quite spacious. From the window, you can overlook the Anderson Cancer Center building, which makes Li Senqiang and his team feel at ease, and they are full of expectations for the next consultation and treatment.

After a short rest, the intermediary also thoughtfully took them to a nearby supermarket to purchase food, so that they could cook in the apartment, and the patient could maintain a good condition after eating the meals in his hometown to avoid any discomfort.

The consultation was quickly arranged one day later. During the period, the intermediary also provided a phone card for Li Senqiang to call his wife and children at home. The proper arrangement of these details quickly restored the energy of the family.

On the day of the consultation, Li Senqiang and his team arrived early at the Thoracic Oncology Center on the ninth floor of the main building of Anderson Cancer Center.

After waiting for a long time, a bearded doctor in a white coat came late, without even an apology, and asked directly with a blank face: "You need to do a genetic mutation test first."

The doctor raised his voice and specifically warned: "Anderson cannot make a judgment based on the examination results of Huaxia Hospital. We will not be responsible for any mistakes in medication due to the examination results. I believe you can understand."

Hearing the faint contempt in the other party's tone, Li Senqiang was inexplicably angry.

Originally, his father had been frozen in the air conditioner for nearly an hour, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but now the other party has a superior attitude, in short, he is very unhappy.

This gene mutation test is aimed at medication, to see if it is suitable for the use of various targeted drugs, because the more effective ones are not suitable for everyone, and the treatment plan needs to be determined based on the results of the genetic test.

He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and according to the doctor's request, under the explanation of the interpreter, he did a full set of examinations such as MRI and PET.

Later, the doctor asked them to do several other additional examinations, and the results of these examinations needed to wait for half a month, plus the other examinations done before, it took 20 days before and after.

Li Senqiang felt aggrieved, but he endured it, and after seeing the bill, he understood the reason.

The bill included eight costly tests, including MRIs and PETs, which cost up to $6,000 each, plus three doctor's consultations and exams, for a total of nearly $50,000.

No wonder the hospital asked for so many inspections. It turned out to be a magnificent way to make money. Li Senqiang looked at the bill, with veins throbbing on his forehead, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

Before my father started treatment, he had already spent 50,000 US dollars on some examinations and consultations.

Coupled with the intermediary fee of more than 100,000 RMB, it is really expensive to go abroad to see a doctor. The cost of a trip is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Li Senqiang understands how expensive medical treatment is in the legendary capitalism lighthouse country.

After the examination results came out, he saw the doctor again, and this time he eagerly asked about the doctor's treatment plan.

The bearded doctor looked at the test results and his complexion became ugly.

"According to the patient's examination results, it is estimated that proton radiotherapy is unlikely to have a significant effect. Most of the patients are resistant to the commonly used targeted drugs at present, and I am afraid that some new drugs need to be considered."

Li Senqiang's heart sank, and a feeling of despair suddenly came to his heart.

He couldn't help but struggled and asked, "Is there any suitable new medicine?"

The doctor finally had a smile on his face, and said: "Recently, Pfizer has launched a very effective anticancer drug, which can be cured in about a month's course of treatment, but it is very expensive, cheaper than ordinary proton therapy and targeted drugs." Much more expensive."

Li Senqiang was stunned: "How expensive is very expensive?"

A trace of contempt flashed in the doctor's eyes, and he spread his hands and said, "A course of proton radiotherapy is about 180,000 U.S. dollars, plus other expenses, about 200,000 U.S. dollars. The price of this Pfizer anticancer drug is four times that of conventional therapy, but It can be completely cured, and the side effects are very few, and it is generally very cost-effective for patients.”

Li Senqiang asked cautiously: "Do you have any detailed information? We want to make more references before making a decision."

The doctor quickly took out a thin brochure and handed it to him.

Li Senqiang read it carefully, and the intermediary was explaining the translation beside him, but after turning a few pages, he suddenly saw a few words, which gave him a vague sense of familiarity.

"Sanqing, what word is this? It doesn't seem to be very common, but it looks a bit like pinyin."

Pointing to the word, he asked, "Is this a medical word? What does it mean?"

The doctor glanced at it, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "By the way, this seems to be the name of the authorized manufacturer of this anticancer drug. It is said that it is an oriental pharmaceutical company."

Li Senqiang was shocked. He keenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong. An anticancer drug from an oriental pharmaceutical company was actually recommended by the doctors here, and the price was so expensive. Is there any secret in it?

Be sure to go back and check carefully, and don't make a decision lightly.

So he frankly stated that he needed to think about it, and left with the agency.

As soon as he walked out of the hospital gate, a bald middle-aged man with a greasy face walked towards him and greeted him warmly.

"Sen Qiang, are you here to accompany Uncle to see a doctor again? What did the doctor say?"

During this time, he went in and out of MD Anderson Cancer Center, and also met some Eagle Country Chinese who were seeing patients here.

This is a new friend who has immigrated for several years, named He Shan, who always enthusiastically shows him the various benefits of coming to Eagle Country, such as fried chicken for one dollar, free food coupons, freedom and sweetness The atmosphere of the country, the advanced and democratic culture, and so on, always make Li Senqiang feel various discomforts.

However, he was not in the mood to exchange pleasantries right now, so he shook his head and said with a dejected expression: "Hey, the doctor said that the current targeted drugs have developed resistance, and we need to try some other new drugs."

He Shan said with concern: "Does the doctor have any recommendations? The pharmaceutical companies in Yingguo are top-notch in the world, so there should be many new drugs to choose from."

Li Senqiang said with a confused face: "Ah, no, the doctor recommended a Pfizer drug, but this drug was developed and authorized by a company in Huaxia."

He Shan couldn't believe it, and laughed: "Haha, are you kidding me? Is there any top pharmaceutical company in Huaxia? It's impossible. If it's a new drug from a domestic pharmaceutical company, would you still go to Eagle Country to see a doctor?"

Li Senqiang pursed his lips and did not speak. The other party always showed contempt for Huaxia in his words and deeds. Like the doctors and staff here, this made him feel very uncomfortable.

He Shan seemed to sense his displeasure, and quickly changed the subject, and the two sides said goodbye quickly.

As soon as Li Senqiang returned to the apartment, he couldn't wait to turn on the computer and search for the word Sanqing on the Internet.

In addition to his work, he usually has to run around for his father's treatment, and he doesn't surf the Internet very much at all, so he is not very well informed about domestic news.

So, after seeing the overwhelming news about Sanqing anticancer drug, he was stunned for a moment.

After a long time, his hands on the keyboard trembled, and he shouted excitedly: "Dad, Mom, let's go back to China for medical treatment, your illness is cured!"

Before his parents could react, he had rushed into his father's bedroom with the computer in his arms.

There was an instant burst of excited cheers.

Li Senqiang returned to China the next day. Before returning home, he sent information about Sanqing anticancer drugs to He Shan and some Chinese friends he met here. Although he did not say it explicitly, the implication was to recommend patients to choose Sanqing anticancer drugs. Only in this way can he be completely cured.

Whether these people believed it or not, he believed it anyway.

As soon as he returned to China, he went straight to Kunming First People's Hospital, but unfortunately, the hospital rejected his clinical trial application.

He couldn't help being a little angry: "Why? I came here all the way from abroad for the Sanqing anticancer drug. If I had known this, I might as well have used it abroad."

The staff of the hospital seemed to be familiar with this reaction, and explained very kindly: "Mr. Li, you misunderstood, we rejected you because this anti-cancer drug has been approved for marketing, and soon you will be able to use it on the market." Any tertiary hospital has used it."

"And I suggest you wait for a few days, because this anti-cancer drug has been included in the medical insurance collection list, and the medical insurance collection personnel are currently negotiating with the manufacturer, hoping to be included in the medical insurance, so that you can use the medical insurance to reimburse you. Saved a lot of money."

Li Senqiang was stunned for a moment, why is there such a good thing?

Eagle Country MD Anderson Cancer Center sells nearly one million dollars of anti-cancer medicine. Not only is it on the market in China, but can it be reimbursed by medical insurance?

It was simply the best news he had ever heard.

The numbness and sadness in his heart were swept away in an instant, and he became ecstatic.

"Okay, okay, I'll go home and wait for news. Thank you so much."

The staff smiled sweetly: "Sure, you don't have to thank me, but Sanqing."

"Yes, yes, thank you Sanqing." Li Senqiang became incoherent with excitement.

He immediately returned home with his exhausted parents, met his long-lost family members, and then checked various news every day, waiting for the news that the Sanqing anticancer drug was included in the medical insurance.

Soon, he saw the so-called overseas Chinese tearfully complaining about the high price of Sanqing's anti-cancer drugs, and Lang Bo, who sucked blood from Eagle Country Chinese.

Looking at the various pictures forwarded, he felt faintly familiar, and quickly clicked into the homepage of the original blog.

So, at a glance, he saw the familiar bald and greasy man on the head portrait.

He was instantly angry.

"He Shan, you liar, how dare you slander Sanqing. If I don't reveal your true colors, I'm not a human being."

Using the keyboard to type frantically, he described his treatment experience at Anderson Cancer Center in detail, and attached bills and medical records.

Direct @及方: "He Shan, you bloody liar, how dare you slander Sanqing."

"Do you know how expensive Eagle Country is to treat cancer? Conventional chemotherapy starts at $200,000. If it is not cured, it has side effects, and it is impossible to maintain a normal life. It takes two years and there is drug resistance. The 5-year survival rate Shockingly low, the money was spent and ended up gone.”

"When I left, you still despised the Sanqing anticancer drug, why did you use it so quickly?"

"Sanqing anti-cancer drug saved your life, and the overall cost is not much more expensive than other drugs you take. You are dissatisfied with the money spent on domestic drugs, so you come here to mess around on the Internet?"

"Why do domestic medicines have to be given away to you for free? Eagle National Medicines are willing to spend money to buy them?"

"I don't know your background yet? You are a country-hating party who finally sold his house in Haishi and immigrated to Yingguo. In the end, a cancer cost all his savings. You hate Sanqing to death, don't you?"

"If I tell you that the Sanqing anti-cancer drug is not only on the market in China, but also can be reimbursed by the medical insurance, will you be so mad?"

"Hehe, if you have the ability to blackmail me, no one is afraid of anyone! I have long disliked you."

As soon as these remarks came out, He Shan's real name was exposed, and the details were instantly turned upside down.

Netizens found out that this person turned out to be a country-hating party with all kinds of bad records, and they exploded instantly.

He Shan was quickly sprayed to delete Langbo, and not long after, Langbo was directly banned for posting false information.

At this time, Wei Kang finally responded.

He directly @李森强 announced a big news.

"Good news, Sanqing has passed the approval and will be listed soon."

Suddenly found that if I coded to 1:00, I could still update 4k daily, tears in my eyes!
