After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 15 It’s not about the money!

Miancheng is a city not far from Chengdu.

Early in the morning, Li Bing kept refreshing his mobile phone, as if he was anxiously waiting for something.

He is a patient with "plastic anemia".

Two days ago, he accidentally joined a patient group. From the chat among the patients in the group, he learned that a new drug called "Qingshan Avatrombopag" had appeared in the country recently.

Although this new drug is still in clinical trials, it has shown excellent therapeutic effects in the treatment of aplastic anemia and Henoch-Schönlein purpura!
Out of curiosity, he checked the messages in the group for the past half month overnight and was completely surprised!

Several patients in the group who participated in the clinical trial not only showed significant improvements in important indicators such as platelets and red blood cells, but two of them even had their blood counts completely reach normal levels!

Taking the medicine for just two months actually has such an effect?

He is so envious!
After tossing and turning all night, he finally decided to sign up for clinical trials of new drugs!
"Drip..."

The familiar cell phone message alert sounded, and he quickly looked at the phone screen.

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

The message was sent by a WeChat friend named Yan Xiaoduo. It was she who invited Li Bing to join the group and was the group owner of the patient group.

Li Bing felt relieved immediately.

"Yan Xiaoduo, could you please help me contact the hospital and ask if there are any spots available for the new drug trial?"

The message was sent and the other end replied quickly.

"Okay, I'll call your doctor right now... Have you finally made up your mind to participate?"

"Ah."

Li Bing took a deep breath and typed quickly:

"I've had enough of my current life. Although I know the new drug may have risks, I can't care less!"

"I understand./Hug."

This time, Yan Xiaoduo took more than ten seconds to send the message.

As the group leader of a patient group, she is also a patient with aplastic anemia and she can fully empathize with others.

Blood disease, endless blood transfusions, endless blood transfusions!

You must disinfect when you go out, disinfect when you come home, disinfect the bedroom, disinfect the living room, and disinfect wherever you go!

And then there are the large amounts of hormones, cyclosporine and antibiotics that you have to take every day!

She's had enough!
Therefore, when she learned that Qingshan Avatrombopag was effective in treating aplastic anemia, she almost immediately participated in the trial.

So far, she has made the right bet.

Although "Afa" could not cure her, two months of medication had brought her platelet count back to almost normal levels.

About five minutes later, Li Bing received a reply message.

"There are still six spots available. Hurry up and go to the Third People's Hospital of Rongcheng."

"Okay! I'll leave right away!"

Miancheng is about an hour's drive from Chengdu. At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Bing arrived at Chengdu Third People's Hospital smoothly.

Then, according to Yan Xiaoduo's suggestion, he went directly to the hematology clinic and found a doctor named Li Xue.

Li Xue is an intern doctor in the outpatient clinic. In addition to her normal internship work in the department, she is also responsible for the registration of subjects for "Qingshan Avatrombopag".

"Hello, are you Dr. Li Xue? I came here specifically to consult about the clinical trial of 'Qingshan Avatrombopag'..."

"Here are my medical records. Please take a look."

Looking at the medical records handed over by Li Bing and listening to the familiar words, Li Xue, who had been busy all morning, took a deep breath.

In just two hours this morning, she heard similar words at least ten times!

But after a moment, she shook her head:

"I'm sorry, the Phase II clinical trial of this drug just ended today, and we are not recruiting subjects for the time being." Li Bing was stunned for a moment, and then he said anxiously:

"Doctor, are you mistaken? I called to ask this morning, and they said there were six more, right?"

Li Xue had no choice but to explain:
"There were indeed six vacancies when I got off work yesterday, but before 6 o'clock this morning, there were already five or six patients waiting to register. I have been busy with this all morning!"

After saying this, Li Xue couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

When Qingshan Avatrombopag first started recruiting patients, we did a lot of work and said we would do it, but in the end, the patients were unwilling to participate.

But in the past two weeks, not only has the number of people seeking advice increased several times, but more and more people have actively participated, and until today, the last six spots were lined up early in the morning!

Of course she also knows the reason, and the patients truly feel the effect!

As Li Xue thought about it, Li Bing became even more anxious.

I came here today with great hope, and I am determined to participate in the new drug trial.

"Doctor, please, can you help add a quota? I came here from Miancheng early in the morning, and I really need this medicine!"

Seeing Li Bing begging, Li Xue also felt a little soft-hearted.

However, she had no say in this matter, so she could only shake her head and say:

"It's not that I won't help you, this is the rule of the pharmaceutical company. But don't be discouraged, there is still Phase III after the Phase II clinical trial is over."

"Hey……"

Li Bing sighed deeply in his heart. He was not an unreasonable person.

But just when he was at a loss, a young woman, also wearing a mask, suddenly came over.

"Are you Dr. Li Xue? I would like to ask if I am registering the clinical trial of 'Qingshan Avatrombopag' with you..."

Li Bing looked at the young woman in surprise. He didn't expect that she was also here for clinical trials.

It seems that Li Xue did not lie, "Qingshan Avaqubopa Tablets" are indeed in short supply!

He then found a seat in the corridor and sat down. Just as he was about to see how Li Xue would answer, another woman came over with a child.

"Hello, are you Dr. Li Xue? I would like to ask about 'Qingshan Avatrombopag'..."

Li Xue was a little overwhelmed by the continuous influx of patients, especially after she told everyone that "Qingshan Avatrombopag" had stopped recruiting for the second phase, many patients immediately begged for mercy.

Even some patients from other places expressed some emotion in their words.

Li Xue had no choice but to calm the patient down while calling Zhang Yang for help.

"Don't worry, the second phase of clinical trials is over and there is still the third phase. You can keep an eye on the third phase and sign up in advance when there is news."

“Everyone will definitely be able to get their medicine!”

……

Zhang Yang usually works in the temporary office of the Clinical Trial Center, which is only three to five minutes away from the outpatient clinic.

After receiving Li Xue's call, he rushed to the outpatient clinic and saw Li Xue comforting the five or six patients around her.

"Doctor, you just said that we have to wait for the third phase after the second phase ends. When does the third phase start? I really can't wait!"

"That's right, you keep talking about the third phase. When does the third phase start?"

"Yes! Doctor, could you please tell the boss of the pharmaceutical company that I am really waiting anxiously. If you can let me be the first one to enter the third phase, I don't need your subsidy. I can even pay for the meal allowance and examination fees!"

Li Xue was stunned and immediately recognized that the person who spoke was Li Bing.

She shook her head hastily:

"This is not about money..."

Zhang Yang was standing nearby and heard it clearly. Suddenly, he had an idea.

Phase three seems to be all about money.
