After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 24 Petition

"Director, Director..."

Feng Xuemei suppressed her inner feelings and finally finished the morning outpatient clinic, then hurried back to the doctor's office.

Director Hu just happened to be off work. He looked at Feng Xuemei in surprise and asked:

"What's wrong, Xuemei?"

"Director, I encountered something today, and I think I must report it to you!"

"This morning..."

Feng Xuemei slowly began to tell the story of Zhou Xiaomei this morning. By the end, she was finding it difficult to suppress her emotions.

"Director, do you know? When I heard Zhou Xiaomei's mother crying, I could really relate to her. I could understand the helplessness in her heart!"

"A box of medicine costs more than 7000 yuan. How much does an average person earn in a month? Even without food or drink, there is not enough money to buy medicine! Zhou Xiaomei's family can't afford it, and how many families like Zhou Xiaomei are there in our country?"

"And when I heard Zhou Xiaomei say 'the motherland will never forget her people', I was really shocked. There was such light in her eyes!"

“This is the light of faith!”

"So... I think whether it's for all the ordinary families of patients like Zhou Xiaomei, or for the light in the little girl's eyes, we must do something."

Feng Xuemei and Director Hu had a conversation in the doctor's office. It was lunchtime and many doctors had just returned from lunch or were preparing to go out for lunch.

When they heard Feng Xuemei telling Zhou Xiaomei's story, many doctors stopped.

After a moment, a young doctor stepped forward.

"Director, not only Xuemei, I also want to report this matter to you."

"You don't know, I have several patients who are waiting for this new drug. They even postponed their bone marrow transplantation plans in the hope of trying Qingshan Avatrombopag first."

"I can understand their feelings. After all, if the disease can be cured, no one wants to undergo surgery or take anti-rejection drugs for several years. But... I'm really afraid that they have missed the best time for treatment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another doctor stood up.

"Director, I also want to report something to you."

"I am ashamed to say that I learned about the death of a patient two days ago. He was only 7 years old and had been seeing my clinic. Two weeks ago, his blood count suddenly dropped drastically and he could not be saved."

"At that time, I was thinking, if the child could take Qingshan Avatrombopag, maybe he wouldn't die at all..."

"But there are no ifs."

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became a little depressing.

Just then, a middle-aged doctor patted him on the shoulder. It was Ren Xiaoyang.

"Don't be sad, Xiao Liu. There are many things that we doctors cannot decide."

As he spoke, he looked at Director Hu.

"Director, I also think we should do something."

"You can see that in our patient group, not only are local patients waiting, but even patients from other places are waiting..."

“Patients with blood diseases are already unfortunate enough, we should give them a little hope!”

Everyone nodded in unison.

Director Hu stood in the middle and looked deeply at everyone present.

After a moment, he nodded slowly:
"I'm very happy that everyone has this idea. In fact, even if everyone doesn't say it, I plan to talk about it at the next meeting."

"Just like what Dr. Ren said, blood disease patients are already unfortunate enough. Look at those children in the inpatient department who are only a few years old. In their childhood, which should be the happiest, they have shaved heads, wear masks, and endure endless blood transfusions, endless examinations, and endless punctures every day!" "Even after a transplant, they still have to endure rejection and infection!"

"Now that we finally have a good drug, we really should shoulder our responsibilities as doctors!"

As he spoke, Director Hu's expression suddenly became stern and his tone suddenly became excited:
"Now 'Qingshan Avatrombopag' is stuck in the 'Seedling Plan' of the Innovative Drug Support Center!"

"I suggest that we write a letter of petition together!"

"It may be useless, and may fall on deaf ears, but we have to do something, right?!"

As soon as the words came out, the office was suddenly filled with enthusiasm.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

In just two minutes, all the dozen or so emergency doctors present followed suit.

Soon, no one had time to eat, and Director Hu immediately started writing.

[Dear leaders, we are frontline doctors in the Department of Hematology of the Third People's Hospital of Chengdu. ]

[Recently, we heard that an innovative drug called "Qingshan Avatrombopag Tablets" has applied for your center's "Seedling Program" and hopes to obtain incubation funds. We have the guts to report some of the content to the leadership.]

[The Phase II clinical trial of this drug was completed in our hospital. After several months of long-term follow-up, we have acquired a large amount of real data from nearly 100 patients.]

[This data is not only the Phase II clinical data, but also includes the complete data of two months of drug discontinuation after Phase II clinical trials. We found that it not only has an excellent therapeutic effect on various blood diseases during the treatment period, but also has a relatively long attenuation period after drug discontinuation...]

[Below is the more detailed clinical data compiled by our department, please read it. ]

【…】

[Finally, there are tens of millions of blood disease patients in our country, and countless patients are waiting for this drug to pass the Phase III clinical trial, including many critically ill patients! ]

[Therefore, I implore the leaders to speed up the approval of this drug as much as possible, so that this new drug can start the Phase III clinical trial as soon as possible, and truly benefit the people! ]

All doctors in the Department of Hematology of the Third People's Hospital of Rongcheng City (signatures):

Hu Renji, Ren Xiaoyang, Feng Xuemei...

Everyone signed their names without hesitation, and a moment later, heavy exhalations were heard in the office!
Everyone looked at each other, perhaps this was responsibility.

As the petition signed by all doctors began to be sent to the Innovative Drug Support Center via express delivery, Chengdu Third People's Hospital also enjoyed a brief period of peace.

But the next morning, someone secretly posted the video of Zhou Xiaomei on the Internet.

For a time, the Internet was in turmoil. Netizens not only focused on Zhou Xiaomei's situation, but also had intense discussions on the "Qingshan Avaqubopa" that was under review.

"I think what the middle-aged lady said is correct. Why does it take so long to review such a life-saving drug?"

"Yes, medicine for this special serious disease should go through the green channel!"

"I can feel the helplessness of Zhou Xiaomei, and I can also understand the helplessness of the middle-aged aunt. We ordinary people really can't afford such expensive medicine. I hope the country will really pay attention to this!"

The news just fermented for one day.
In a spacious and bright office in the most central area of ​​Chengdu, an old man also noticed this matter!
"Humph, what do these people in the Innovative Drug Support Center do for?"

"Moreover, for a Phase II clinical trial of Qingshan Avatrombopag Tablets that is so good, they actually arranged a Phase III clinical trial involving 1800 people? What is the review center doing?!"

"Secretary Zhang, please ask Director Zhou from the Evaluation Center to come here immediately. I want to ask him in person how they came up with the number of 1800 clinical staff!"
