This dinner was organized by the regional manager of a pharmaceutical agency. Surgery, especially orthopedics, uses a lot of instruments and costs a lot, but this is usually the responsibility of the director himself. But people cannot eat alone, so some matters concerning medicines are the responsibility of the deputy director.
This matter is actually very simple. When a drug is produced by a manufacturer, it does not enter the hospital directly. First, it is handed over to the so-called pharmaceutical company. The pharmaceutical company then goes to various large and small hospitals in various regions to solicit bids. Then enter clinical practice. And because many pharmaceutical companies now have serious homogeneity of drugs, competition in this industry has become very cruel.
Let’s take the acid-suppressing drug omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, which are produced by no less than a dozen manufacturers in China. The product has no differences or advantages, and even if there are advantages, patients don't understand it. For example, ordinary omeprazole is not as effective as enteric-coated capsules.
After the drugs are homogenized, they have no advantages of their own and can only take other paths. It is very tragic to advertise and please the hospital. What they originally used to save people and treat diseases has been turned into garbage that everyone hates. To a layman, it seems as if a doctor prescribes medicine for the sake of prescribing medicine.
In fact, the things here are really nonsense, and there is no way to explain it. Take foreign drugs as an example. In fact, doctors in hospitals really like to use foreign drugs. Almost all foreign drugs that can enter the country are giant companies. They will not give any kickbacks to doctors at all, that is, they will invite doctors to have a meal every year. Why do doctors like to use foreign drugs?
It's very simple. Their workmanship is good and their drugs rarely cause allergic reactions. Their clinical trial data and instructions can be turned into a paper! On the other hand, if we look at our own drugs, such as penicillin, not to mention clinics, even some hospitals dare not use them. They only use them for those who are allergic to them. Do all people in China have allergies? Even the textbooks say that the first drug for some diseases is penicillin, but can this be used? Dare to use it?
Some people may say that this is just for the sake of commission and the doctor is not using it. It is really just spreading lies. There is a saying in the medical industry that there is no medicine for treating diseases. Insulin and high-grade antibiotics from major giants, rebates? Thinking too much! What really matters is this ginseng, which elixir, this aphrodisiac, which kidney-strengthening medicine. They are given a lot, but do doctors dare to prescribe it? How many of the doctors who trick patients into buying these drugs are doctors from regular hospitals? It makes me cry when I talk about it, but I have to face it, life is like this.
"Doctor Zhang, Doctor Wang, please get in the car quickly. I'm Xiao Chen." Before Zhang Fan and Wang Yanan arrived, a capable young man came up to them with a smile.
"Who are you?" Although Zhang Fan knew who he was, he still asked.
"I am Xiao Chen from Anfu Pharmaceuticals. From now on, I will be in charge of our hospital. I will also need the support of the two teachers." The young man said with a smile, and handed over an exquisitely made business card with both hands, and then hurriedly Open the car door.
"Are you sitting in the front?" Zhang Fan looked at the business card, stuffed it into his pocket and said to Wang Yanan.
"You sit in the front. I'll be in the back."
"Okay. Manager Chen, could you please come to pick us up? Just tell us where you are and we can go there. Why are you being so polite?" Zhang Fan said to Xiao Chen after getting in the car.
"It should be, it should be. Originally, our district manager came to pick up the two teachers. There was something wrong with the food in the hotel before leaving, so I was asked to come. Please don't mind, two teachers." said the young man. He was very sincere, and he probably practiced in front of the mirror a lot.
"It's okay, it's okay. You came to pick her up. We're all embarrassed. It's really too much trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble." The two of them said nonsense hypocritically. Wang Yanan calmed down and looked at the crowd outside the car without saying a word, entering the cold-faced queen state.
In the hotel box, everyone was almost there, but Lao Gao didn't come. He was of a high rank, and generally he couldn't be invited to this kind of banquet. Sitting on the main seats were the two deputy directors, as well as the team leaders and main doctors of each group.
Zhang Fan and Wang Yanan entered the box. Deputy Director Wang Hao stood up with a smile and said to a middle-aged man with a shiny face: "Look, the rising stars of our department are here, Dr. Zhang Fan, Zhang and this beauty, Dr. Wang Yanan. Come on. Come, I’ll be waiting for you.”
"Hello, director, and leaders." Zhang Fan smiled and greeted a circle of doctors in the department. Wang Yanan could not count on them.
"Are you making fun of us again? You have snatched up all the patient beds and you are still talking about taking advantage of us. The two directors have to make the decision for us." Zhou Chengfu sat on his seat and pointed at Zhang Fan and smiled at Cui Pingjun who was sitting in the chair. Said Wang Hao.
"Haha, seeing how good the new doctor in our department is without Manager Sun, Zhou Youzi started to complain." Cui Pingjun said to the shiny man with a smile.
"Yes, you are very energetic at first sight. Let me introduce myself, Sun Yuan, from Anfu Pharmaceuticals. Please support the two teachers in the future." The man took the initiative to walk up to Zhang Fan and Wang Yanan as he spoke.
"Hello! Manager Sun." After shaking hands with Zhang Fan, he hurriedly arranged Zhang Fan and Wang Yanan to their seats. Zhang Fan has long made up his mind that he will not participate in other things when it comes to eating and drinking. Anyway, it is not his turn to make the decision in the department, so there is no need to worry.
Drugs with the same chemical name have at least seven or eight trade names from seven or eight manufacturers. To be honest, it is difficult for pharmaceutical companies in China to do so. Serve food and eat, toast each other, and flatter each other. This kind of dinner is very strange and different from other dinners.
At a normal dinner, whether you are asking someone to do something or entrusting someone to do something, everyone will at least be polite to the host who pays the bill. But this kind of dinner is different. You can only be polite at the beginning. After the meal starts and the drinks start, Manager Sun becomes An outsider.
What is going on? The doctor was also very helpless. For example, this manager took a certain path with energy, and then found Wang Hao through connections. Wang Hao had to introduce him to the doctors in the department. Wang Hao was looking for people with energy. Face, what doctors look at is Wang Hao’s face. The real thing is that there is food to eat but nothing to do. Whoever misses this meal is helpless! No one will take their own job as a joke.
Therefore, as long as a drug is effective, the hospital can give it to you without any need for public relations. However, the drug is not effective, and allergies often occur. Even if you invite everyone to dinner, the doctor will not dare to prescribe it, no matter what you do. .
"Come on, brother, let's have a drink with my brother." The leader brought a drink, and then everyone toasted to the leader. After the toast was over, the rest was left to free play. Zhou Chengfu came to Zhang Fan with a red face. Although Zhang Fan also toasted to the two directors, everyone knew that he could not drink, so they all clinked their glasses with tea.
"Brother, what do you mean? You have to make me vomit." Zhang Fan said after pulling Zhou Chengfu to sit beside him.
"Hey! You little bastard, not to mention your awesome surgery, you won't even give me a chance at the wine shop. Forget it, let's have a drink with each other."
"What's wrong? I'm not in the right state. Drink less." Although Zhang Fan said to drink less, he still touched Lao Zhou with tea. He had been serving wine for a long time.
"I'm leaving!" Lao Zhou said fiercely after drinking the alcohol for dozens of seconds.
"Where to go?" Zhang Fan asked strangely.
"Third Department of Orthopedics."
"What? Have you reached any secret with Lao Chen?" Zhang Fan said with a smile.
"Hi! How should I put it? I can't stay in the Department of Orthopedics any longer. There is no hope. I also want to be like Xue Fei, but we are not willing to accept it. You should understand what I say." Everyone has said it, Zhang Fan can't pretend I no longer know.
"Hey! What should I say, Brother Zhou." Zhang Fan's tone also became lower.
"Don't say anything. I can't say anything because my skills are inferior to others, but you tell me what I want to do to you, brother."
"Okay!" Zhang Fan straightened his body and said.
"Okay, as long as you say this. If something happens to my brother, you must not stand idly by." Lao Zhou poured himself another glass of wine.
"Let's drink tea, drink tea."
"No, this must be wine, otherwise I won't be able to express my brother's feelings." Lao Zhou stubbornly wanted to toast Zhang Fan with wine.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to improve, and there is nothing to make fun of. Lao Zhou has Lao Zhou's way of living, and Xue Fei has Xue Fei's way of entertaining himself, which is not easy. Zhang Fan understands! This is the world of men. When you want to get something, you must be prepared to give something first, whether it is humiliation or shame and anger, drink it down with wine, and then move on. Never give up until you reach your goal, this is what a man is!
