As expected by Lin Sanqi, when the newspaper published the good news that China had officially overcome the problem of tuberculosis treatment, it did not cause an uproar around the world.
Even if various overseas agencies have officially notified the governments of various countries.
Even our staff at the WHO handed the information to experts from various countries, just like handing out small advertisements on the streets in later generations, but it was still useless.
Most of these paper materials end up in the trash.
How to describe it, just like we suddenly heard Rwanda announce that they have conquered HIV and have invented a drug that can cure AIDS.
I believe most people don’t look surprised when they hear this, but look like you’re kidding me.
A poor and backward African country like Rwanda cannot even provide basic medical services, and then you tell me that they can cure AIDS?
Ten out of ten people don’t believe this, even if it is officially released by Rwanda.
China in 1961 actually faced this embarrassing situation, so when China announced this news, no media in the world reprinted it, and no medical research media commented.
The whole world ignored this good news from China.
Lin Sanqi didn't know that an American medical school had already paid attention to him and was even preparing to come to China in person. However, it was just because of the troublesome visa procedures that he was unable to leave.
Sunday, April 16, 1961.
The Capital Infectious Disease Hospital has regulations that close clinics every Sunday. This is a benefit that Lin Sanqi strives for for his employees.
Of course, the reason cannot be for rest. The country does not advocate rest these days. Employees have to work in two 12-hour shifts. Some units with stricter requirements cannot leave after get off work and have to study business.
You don't want to sleep until Sunday. Some units will require employees to work overtime on their own initiative, or go back to the unit to do hygiene, etc.
In short, you have to treat your work as your home. Since it is your own home, you have to stay there day and night and be dedicated.
Lin Sanqi is a modern person, and his thinking is different from that of people in the 1960s. He believes that employees' right to rest must be protected. For example, there should not be too many outpatients during work, and the number of outpatients must be limited.
There are stipulated working and off-duty hours. Once the time is up, everyone except those on duty can get off work on time without looking at the dean's face.
Another example is that you can have one day off every Sunday. If it weren't for the fear of causing public outrage, other Dean Lin would want to take the weekend off.
The excuse is that the infectious disease hospital is in a special situation. After outpatient services are held six days a week, various viruses and bacteria are hidden in every corner of the hospital and it needs to be fully disinfected, so it is closed for one day on Sunday.
Then find a few logistics staff to carry disinfection buckets on their backs to completely disinfect the hospital. The remaining medical staff can do whatever they want. Spring is here, let's go for an outing.
In the dean's office, Lin Sanqi was listening to the report from Zheng Meimei, the chief of the finance department.
This section chief was recruited from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital by Lin Sanqi. Even though Zheng Meimei was already 50 years old, she was a talented student who graduated from the Department of Economics of Yenching University, and she was very organized and competent in her work.
I saw Accountant Zheng doing abacus with his left hand and recording with a pen in his right hand. He was able to do two things at once.
Finally, when the abacus sound fell, Accountant Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and reported with a smile:
"Director Lin, in the first month of operation of our hospital, we received a total of 19,500 outpatients, including 1,300 inpatients, and the total operating income reached 450,000.
Among them, 200,000 yuan needs to be repaid as a loan from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. The money was mainly used to purchase three new X-ray machines, as well as the hospital's internal decoration costs, etc., so the remaining balance is 250,000 yuan.
Currently we have 320 employees on staff. Because the salary standard you set is relatively high, the monthly salary that needs to be paid to employees is 150,000 yuan, which leaves 100,000 yuan.
Then there are the drug costs, X-ray film costs, laboratory consumable costs, administrative office costs, etc., which account for the majority of the cost. The total cost is at least 200,000 yuan, so we still lost 100,000 yuan last month.
In addition, our infectious disease hospital is still expanding. Although the project and material fees specially approved by superiors can be owed, according to your design of a five-story building, the entire project will cost at least 500,000 yuan, which is another loss. ”
Lin Sanqi scratched his head, thinking that the speed of making money is really not as fast as the speed of spending money.
It is very difficult for hospitals to be self-financing without government investment.
This was still in 1961. If the competition becomes more intense in 2014, would those deans still have gray hair and want to grab business? You should not do anything to get money out of patients' pockets.
But now Lin Sanqi is not worried at all:
"What are you afraid of? We have debts and need to build infrastructure, so we have no money. You see, our hospital has no shortage of patients. The 750 appointments every day are all sold out as soon as they are released. We have to wait a month for appointment registration. .
Sister Zheng, you majored in economics, so you should be able to understand the profitability of our hospital. From now on, it will be a money-printing machine. So don’t be afraid of losing money now, buy what you need and pay when you need to, so that our employees’ lives can be better. "Accountant Zheng has another hidden danger in his mind:
"Dean Lin, there is another issue you need to pay attention to. Currently, all our tuberculosis drugs are provided by you alone, and then processed in the Changping Branch before being given to patients.
This is equivalent to the fact that the operation of the entire hospital is maintained by you alone. You have to supply tuberculosis drugs to 20,000 people in the first month. What about the second and third months? By the time it reaches its peak in the sixth month, you will have to supply medicines to 120,000 people.
So my suggestion is, can we open a pharmaceutical factory to produce tuberculosis drugs ourselves? This will not only save costs, but also eliminate the need for you to personally advance funds. You can’t always lose money alone, right? ”
Accountant Zheng thought wholeheartedly about Lin Sanqi and others, and was afraid that he would suffer a loss.
Currently, Lin Sanqi has tentatively set the price for tuberculosis drugs at 5 yuan per person, which means that patients can take the medicine for a month for 5 yuan.
In this era when the average salary of employees was about 30 yuan, spending one-sixth of the income on medical treatment a month would not put a heavy financial burden on the patients.
According to Zheng Meimei's opinion, even if you charge 50 yuan a month for this miraculous medicine, it is not expensive, not to mention it is "imported" from abroad.
But what Lin Sanqi was thinking was that he bought the four-in-one tuberculosis drug from Brother Dafa.
Ethylamine pyrazine, Rifaisonium tablets are drugs distributed free of charge by the state, and the state strictly controls the supplies.
Although Lin Sanqi can find a manufacturer to produce a batch at his own expense, as the number increases in the future, it will definitely attract the attention of relevant departments.
Therefore, it is very necessary to build your own pharmaceutical factory to produce ethylamine pyrazine, rifaximin tablets.
But here comes the problem. If this pharmaceutical factory was built in China in 1961, the production line would be easy to solve, but the production raw materials would definitely not be provided based on the current domestic chemical and biological industry foundation.
Because this involves the cultivation of bacterial strains, production and fermentation, separation and purification, etc., this biopharmaceutical process is really difficult for those who don’t know it, but not difficult for those who know it.
At present, even penicillin strains cannot be cultured and produced industrially in China, so the more complex ethylamine, pyrazine, rifaxine, and isotonic tablets are even more difficult.
If Lin Sanqi must set up the production line in 1961, he would first need to start cultivating chemical talents and biopharmaceutical talents from universities, and at the same time continue to purchase pharmaceutical raw materials from 2014.
What's more, even if the pharmaceutical factory reluctantly opens up, the boom will come in a few years. Whether this factory can be saved is still a question.
Don’t forget that all production lines in the factory are “imported”. As long as they are foreign, they are subject to...
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that for the time being, he could only build a pharmaceutical factory to produce tuberculosis drugs in 2014, and then travel to 1961. When conditions are ripe, he could extend the production line to 1961.
Where the pharmaceutical factory will be built will be very important.
Lin Sanqi is not optimistic about the capital, which will be the center of the storm.
"Accountant Zheng, employees' wages must be paid on a monthly basis. In addition, we don't have to worry about food. We have enough food in the warehouse of the Changping branch for all our employees for a year, so we will pay it in full without any discounts. Just 35 kilograms per person." Fine grains are issued as standard.”
Zheng Meimei was a little surprised.
You must know that the current standard for male employees in other units is 23 pounds, and the standard for female workers has been reduced to 20 pounds. This standard can only protect a person's basic survival needs and only ensure that you do not starve to death.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital directly provides 35 kilograms of food per person, which is definitely the only one in the country, and it will be envied and hated by other units.
"Besides, I'm not in a hurry about the money for the medicine. The hospital doesn't have to pay me now. It will settle the bill for me later when it has money.
Of course, now that I am the dean, I have the final say, and I don’t need cash. We can just purchase various supplies from across the country in the name of the hospital. I want raw materials for traditional Chinese medicine, and I also want various proprietary Chinese medicines or health care products.
For example, tiger bone wine, Angong Niuhuang Pills, Xipi Pills, Liushen Pills, Pien Tze Huang, Guiling Ji, etc. are all available. You can search them all over the country for products from various time-honored brands. ”
At this point, Lin Sanqi finally revealed his true colors as the dean.
Now he has the power to procure whatever he wants.
His superiors also knew that he was a smuggler. As long as it did not involve national security, his superiors would turn a blind eye or even be happy to see what happened.
So he can use his authority as the dean to exchange the most advanced "anti-tuberculosis drugs" from abroad for various Chinese medicinal materials and proprietary Chinese medicines that are not very valuable in China. Who can say no?
No wonder everyone has wanted to be an official since ancient times. Being an official can really do whatever you want. (End of chapter)
