The delicious grouper soup could not calm his mind. Gu Jun slept until midnight. When he woke up, he was drenched in cold sweat.
He dreamt that another epidemic had broken out in this world. There were people begging for help, piles of corpses, and medical personnel like they were transporting corpses. He dreamt that Expert He Feng was holding onto an anti-inflammatory drug like it was a treasure. The streets of the dead city were so quiet that not even crows could be seen …
He cried out to the sky in his dream but the sky only rained down a storm.
He struggled but the people around him dwindled. Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice. The familiar faces turned into pictures on the tombstones.
His hands were bleeding but he did not manage to save a single person, a single friend or family member.
"Phew, phew …" Gu Jun sat up on the bed and wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. Looking at the dimly lit surroundings, there was only the faint sound of the monitoring equipment in the room. His heart suddenly felt empty, it was as if everything was a void.
No, this is not right, this is not going to work. I need to pull myself together …
Gu Jun shook his head violently. The shaking caused the PEEK skull to ache.
He could not allow himself to wallow in these emotions. Even if he was sad, he had to pull himself together. There was not much time left.
Otherwise, the scene in his dream might come true.
Gu Jun hammered his heart again. The hammering was so loud that it caused his heart to beat even faster. The tightness in his chest that he could not express was lifted slightly. However, the messy thoughts once again surged into his mind. He had to make some changes to this world to relieve the pain, to relieve even more pain …
The more pain there was in this world, the worse the disease would be and the faster it would collapse.
On the contrary, the less pain there was from the disease, the weaker the power of darkness would be and the healthier the world would be.
These thoughts might not be the mechanism of hemoptysis but they could definitely prevent the return of life with negative selection …
That day, among the consciousness fragments triggered by Yu Chi, many of the patients initially wanted to live. They wanted to live like a normal person, they wanted to run and walk … These were things that a normal person would not care about but they were the things that they fought for.
Their hopes were dashed again and again, which was why they fell to the dark side.
In the face of disease, no one could stay out of it, because anyone could suddenly fall ill, or their descendants could meet with misfortune.
Gu Jun scratched his head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was three o 'clock in the morning, which was still bedtime, but he really couldn't wait. He reached out to press the call bell on the bedside and said, "Hello, I want to talk to Tong Ye. It's very important."
The voice from the service desk came through the pager. "Okay, please wait for a moment, Doctor Gu. I will contact Tong Ye for you now."
Elder Tong was now an important figure at Phecda, and he had to do practical work. He was very busy every day. Not everyone could wake him up from his rare nap like this. Gu Jun was one of the people who could do this. In less than five minutes, Tong Ye's confused and anxious voice came from the intercom.
"Ah Jun, what's wrong? The call has been encrypted. If there's anything, say it quickly. "
"Tong Ye, we need to take practical actions to relieve more pain in this world."
Gu Jun said very seriously to show that he was clear-headed and understood the difficulty of doing these things, as well as the seriousness and urgency of the situation.
"To put it simply, in both the Mysterious Sky Continent and the Sky Continent, we need to quickly achieve free medical care for all. The situation of having medicine but no money can no longer exist. Also, gather all the pharmaceutical companies and research companies, share technology, invest funds, gather talents, and conquer more diseases. "
Tong Ye was silent for a few seconds, then said, "So big?"
Tong Ye was not the kind of person who followed the rules. When he was young, he despised the world even more than Gu Jun, and he was unrestrained. Many of the ideas he proposed were shocking at that time and even now. But even so, because he was in a high position, he knew more difficulties …
Therefore, what Gu Jun said now still gave Tong Ye a huge impact.
This was not a change that could be achieved in a short time. There were many aspects involved behind it, and it could not be explained clearly in a few words.
It could even be said that there were no experts or scholars in both the Mysterious Sky Continent and the Sky Continent who could find the truth in this matter.
"I know, this is like sleep talking, suddenly asking for the world to be united …" Gu Jun was anxious at first, but the more he spoke, the calmer he became. This was because the more he spoke, the more certain he was that he had to do this. "If we can't achieve it, Tong Ye, our human civilization will not last for long."
Looking at the darkness around him, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
In the past few days, he understood some medical situations that he had not been clear about before, especially the current situation of the diseases that were revealed by the fragments of consciousness.
"Hemophilia, because of congenital coagulation dysfunction, usually starts when a child is learning to walk, and shows various degrees of bleeding. "Normal activities may also cause bleeding in the joints and muscles. Severe patients will also bleed spontaneously, even if they are sitting still. When they wake up, they will find bruises all over their body.
"Excessive bleeding in the joints will cause irreversible damage, and it will develop into hemophilic arthritis, pain, deformity, disability, and poor quality of life. "These patients are like being cut by a knife all the time. Children can barely live a normal life, but when they reach adolescence, their joints will be worn out to the point that they are almost in a wheelchair. "Tong Ye, do you know that domestic universities can refuse to admit hemophiliac patients? Even if you get good grades, they will not want you. There is no legal problem. Some patients were also rejected in this way.
After bleeding, hemophiliac patients can receive treatment with a half-life of about 10 hours by injecting coagulation factors. However, the cost is high, and domestic medical conditions are limited. Even in places with good conditions abroad, the quality of life is still a problem with the prevention of injections three times a week, and the joints are still slowly deteriorating.
Emecizumab, a new bispecific antibody drug on the market, has a different pharmacology from coagulation factors. Once a week or a month, a sufficient dose can greatly improve the coagulation level of hemophiliac patients. The half-life of the drug is one month, and the patient can achieve zero bleeding for a year. They can go to school, work, and live like a normal person. Although the irreversible joint lesions will not be repaired, as long as the drug is continued, the disease will be cured.
If this drug is used on an adult patient weighing 50 kilograms, the annual cost in the country will be more than 1.2 million.
Tong Ye, without medical insurance, how many years will it take for an ordinary family to earn 1.2 million without eating or drinking?
Hemophilia has become a poverty disease.
There are too many poor diseases like this that have medicine but no money to use, and so on. Tong Ye, I am a medical student, and I did not know there are so many … poor diseases.
Why is it like this? Why? Many people say it is because pharmaceutical companies need to earn back the research and development costs during the patent period. Developing a drug requires money, and so does producing a drug. But last year, one of the top ten pharmaceutical companies in the world, like Roche, had an annual net profit of more than 10 billion USD. They make money, a lot of money. "
Gu Jun mumbled to himself. The darkness around him felt like something was strangling his throat, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Tong Ye, I do not understand economics, and neither do you. What I do understand tells me that we are in a tug of war …
We need to save more patients, and the progress of modern medicine needs to benefit more people, so that more suffering patients can be saved and freed from their predicament. If you have money but no medicine, that's because you're not skilled enough. But if you have medicine but no money, you'll only bring more pain to the world … "
Gu Jun took a deep breath. "We cannot just stop the cultists from making this world worse, we need to make this world a better place.
The profits, patents, research and development of the pharmaceutical giants need to be consolidated … We need a universal health care plan that will benefit everyone in both Tian Xuan Realm and Tian Xuan Realm. Throw away prejudice and profit, and focus on a single goal: to improve the health of the world. How to make money for the pharmaceutical companies, how to distribute the profits, how to maintain competitiveness … I cannot tell you but if this continues, hemoptysis will appear sooner or later. Or perhaps it will be another disease, a new legionella pneumonia. This world needs to change … "
Gu Jun mumbled. His words were jumbled, and some of them were repeated over and over again.
But Tong Ye could understand him. The sound of a deep breath came from the intercom.
"Ah Jun, I understand. I fully support what you've said. I'll risk my life to push for what you've said. But I can tell you now, it will not go smoothly, it is too difficult. You know this as well, even the construction of GOA and Tian Xuan Realm's HQ is not going so smoothly. "
Gu Jun knew, he knew that he was talking in his sleep …
"Tong Ye, tell everyone, no matter how hard it is, they must do it. Or else the next epidemic, the next disaster, might come tomorrow and they will be the ones to die. "
After all, it was the middle of the night. Tong Ye sighed. "We can't rush this. You should get a good night's sleep first. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
After the call ended, Gu Jun did not sleep immediately. He stared at the ceiling and his heart was in turmoil. There was only one disease in the world, the disease of poverty …
He was reminded of the time when he received the letter of acceptance from Eastern University's 8-year medical school during his high school graduation party. He pretended to be in high spirits when he told his classmates that.
He was also reminded of his high school graduation party. There was a student in his class who was very smart, outgoing, kind, and popular among the girls. His witty speech in class always made the whole class laugh. They were quite good friends back then, but for some reason, the student dropped out of school. He said it was due to his health.
The student was physically weak and never attended physical education class … Perhaps, he was a hemophiliac.
Was the student in pain now? At this very moment, how many people were suffering from this kind of pain?
Gu Jun felt like his entire body was being strangled by an invisible force, tightening and tightening around him …
Once again, he seemed to hear the sound of negative choices that he could not get rid of.
Can you cure the disease of poverty?
You must cure it …
Doctor Gu, it is useless.
The medical science of the foreign world was so much more advanced than that of Earth. The religious faith ensured that everyone could be cured, but they still walked toward destruction.
This was because differences would form new diseases. Diseases were defined by humans. As long as there were differences, new diseases would appear. There would not be a world where everyone was healthy unless there were no differences.
No, no …
Gu Jun's face tensed as he tried to banish the illusory voice. The more he thought about it, the more anxious and determined he became.
No matter how difficult it is, I am willing to give it a try.
