There is such a legend that has been circulating in the Third Hospital.
As long as a uremia patient can afford the money, he can find a matching kidney at the herbal medicine hall.
Lu Chuan has led people to surround the entire herbal medicine hall, and 20 or 30 criminal police officers have arrested all the more than a dozen staff members inside.
But, not coincidentally, the owner of the herbal medicine hall is not here.
“He just went out and we don’t know where he is.”
The arrested people didn't resist at all when they saw so many criminal police officers coming in. Why did they say anything so quickly?
"I...I know..."
Among the people who were arrested, one person squatted on the ground and stammered.
Lu Chuan hurried over.
Judging from what we know so far, the owner of this herbal medicine hall is one of the core key figures.
The owner of the herbal medicine hall is Zhang Meng, who turned out to be a doctor in Ping'an County.
But he is not the chief surgeon, nor is he a physician, but a purchasing doctor in the medicinal materials department.
Ten years ago, Zhang Meng resigned from Pingan County and came to Haizhou City to work hard. At first, he just sold some smuggled drugs. Later, he slowly accumulated some funds and opened a store. pharmacy.
Since 5 years ago, Zhang found that there were more uremia patients in the Third Hospital, because this is a major specialty of the Third Hospital.
Not to mention the entire Haizhou City, even the Third Hospital in the province is one of the best in treating uremia.
From a medical point of view, uremia is not a particularly difficult disease to treat, but it is difficult to cure. Under normal circumstances, dialysis can only be used to maintain life.
In the past, the cost of dialysis was very high, but with the advancement of medical technology in recent years, many centralized drugs have been included in medical insurance, and the cost of dialysis has gradually dropped.
Even patients with poor families who want to maintain dialysis have no problem, because most of the costs of dialysis can be reimbursed by medical insurance.
But the process of dialysis is still quite painful, especially after a long time, you may be covered with needle holes.
And uremia is not a completely incurable disease. As long as there is a suitable kidney source and kidney transplantation, uremia will be cured.
Therefore, in the urology department of the Third Hospital, there are sometimes hundreds of people waiting for kidney transplants, and sometimes there are dozens.
But not everyone can afford a kidney transplant. A kidney transplant costs at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
And this is only the cost of a kidney transplant from a public welfare kidney source. If a kidney source is purchased, then the cost of purchasing a kidney source will also be added.
Zhang Meng took a fancy to this, so he started thinking about a chain five years ago. He had worked in Ping'an County and knew the situation there.
So Zhang Meng gathered a few people and started working on this gray industry chain.
Zhang Meng left the drugstore not because he caught wind of the situation, but because he was going to wash the car today.
Lu Chuan and the criminal police pushed the other party to the ground in a car wash not far from the Third Hospital.
After being arrested, Zhang Meng did not resist at all and confessed to the crime he committed.
He knew very well that if the police could catch him, it would prove that he had been exposed to this kind of thing. Once he was caught, it would be useless to run away.
Especially in the beginning, the few people who bought kidneys contacted him directly, and then he took certain protective measures and obtained kidney sources from Ping'an County.
Later, although Zhang Meng realized this, he began to gradually hide himself. Judging from the past few years, Zhang Meng's cautious behavior has still worked. After all, this incident has occurred for 5 years.
And no one complained whether it was the kidney seller or the kidney seller.
After all, the person who sold the kidney got the money, and the person who sold the kidney got his life.
If it were not for the abnormal fluctuations in the medical data in Ping'an County, this matter would probably never be known.
Of course, the whole case lasted for a long time. Lu Chuan followed the case with twenty or thirty people for about half a month.
This is also the first time that Lu Chuan has acted on behalf of the Provincial Serious Case Team. Although the process was difficult, the result was still relatively good.
Of course, in addition to Zhang Meng, there were several other people in the pharmacy who were also his accomplices. After Zhang was arrested, they all confessed their crimes.
As for some people at the Third Hospital, they were also arrested.
Hospitals generally need to know the source of kidney transplants for uremic patients.
The relevant personnel performed the surgery on the other party even though they knew there was a problem with the source of the kidney source, and unintentionally condoned the occurrence of this criminal act in a certain way.
In this case, Lu Chuan arrested more than 30 people.
This is also the case in which more people were arrested among the cases handled by Lu Chuan.
And it doesn’t just involve Haizhou City and Ping’an County.
Zhang Meng’s line has expanded its business scope since last year.
There was also a man with two kidneys in the provincial capital, and the kidney source was taken from him.
In the interrogation room.
Although Zhang confessed to his criminal behavior, Zhang actually did not think that he had really committed a crime. He just violated the legal provisions, but he was not a sinner. On the contrary, many people were saved.
“Do you know how many people I have saved in the past five years?”
Zhang Meng is very clear about the conditions of these patients. He has saved a total of 19 people.
"Do you know what these 19 people do?"
Zhang Meng asked the interrogator for a cigarette: "There are high-ranking officials, rich men, lawyers, and teachers. You can check it out yourself. ”
“Some of these people are in high positions, and some have a lot of wealth in their hands, and the other person has uremia. If there is no nephritis, he may have to rely on dialysis for his whole life, and how long can he survive? It’s also uncertain.”
“As for the 19 people selling kidneys in Ping’an County, why didn’t they call the police to arrest me? Guess why? It’s because they were short of money, and I gave them money. . ”
“One kidney can’t save your life, but for them, it’s a very good deal to exchange one kidney for tens of thousands of dollars, because they are waiting for this money to save their lives.”< br>
Zhang Meng took a deep breath: "I am not a sinner, I just violated the law."
"After all, my behavior is legal abroad, right?!"
Lu Chuan Listening to the other party's last sophistry next door, his expression changed: "That's complete nonsense!"
He left the monitoring room and went directly into the interrogation room. He looked at the organ in front of him who had committed a crime but refused to admit guilt and confessed without repentance. Traffickers.
"Zhang Meng, don't package yourself like a saint, you are a criminal!" (End of Chapter)
