A few days later, in a private house, where Ron's Patient Mutual Aid Society often gathers, the big guys all know some news, their eyes glint with hope, and they look at Ron while whispering.

Everyone arrived, and Ron stood up, "You all know that I just went to China, and I have been looking for a cure all over the world for all these years, and this time I finally found it in China!" The everybody looked at me, and if I looked closely, I was in much better health than when I left the United States, thanks to the amazing Chinese doctor. ”

"He invented a new drug, and thanks to those bastards at the FDA, we can't buy this drug in the United States now, which has obvious effects and is nearly a hundred times cheaper than Grenin!"

"There is a certain amount of risk to buy this drug from me, but it! If the United States can't keep me alive, why should I accept it obediently? ”

He pointed to his friend next to him, "Sergei told me that a Russian poet he likes very much, once wrote such a poem, when society pushes you into a corner, don't forget that there is a road behind you, and that is crime, and there is no shame in remembering it!" Am I not mistaken? Sergei! ”

"Yes, it's Mayakovsky's work!" Sergei said with a smile that in the face of a threat to their lives, they didn't care about this little problem.

"So, let's take a look at this medicine!" Ron opened the box that had been shipped through the country through the diplomatic pouch, revealing the Chinese patent medicine powder inside, "It's this medicine, it's only seventy dollars a month, now let Nova die, we've found a better alternative!" ”

The patients crowded to the front, opened the medicine box, took out a small bag of powder, and looked at the square words with a confused expression, "Hey, Ron, how should this medicine be used?" ”

"Three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, each time I open a small packet and brew it with 200 ml of hot water, which is very simple." Ron pulled out a stack of handwritten paper, "I'll have the instructions translated into English, so you can take a look." ”

The medicine that Ron brought back was bought out, and even he didn't have the next month's supply, but he wasn't in a hurry at all, with a happy smile on his face, "Hide the medicine when you go back, don't let your doctors know, take it for a month and then see, if it really works, and you still want to buy it, come to me to sign up when the time comes, I'll count the quantity, and then ship it back from China." ”

However, unfortunately, even if Ron was careful to advise, someone still found out that they were taking this medicine, and when a patient went to the hospital for a check-up, the changes in his body aroused the curiosity of the doctor, and the doctor was very curious, why the disease that was not cured clearly improved, so under the doctor's repeated questioning, the patient confessed the truth and showed the doctor this medicine.

Soon their meeting place was searched and Ron's channels for delivering medicines were found, Nova exerted its influence, Ron's uncle was transferred out of China to work in Japan, and Ron lost the opportunity to use diplomatic pouches to transport medicines.

"How can they do this! This medicine is clearly effective, why not let us use it! "The patients changed places to gather, and the big ones were very angry, and finally saw a glimmer of healing, but they were in danger of being extinguished because of the law.

"Ron, is there any other way? I've heard that U.S. citizens are allowed to bring small doses of drugs that have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for their own use from abroad when they are harmed by diseases, as long as there is a prescription from a legitimate doctor, can you take us to China, and then we can buy the medicine ourselves and bring it back? Someone asked.

"No, that refers to chemical drugs, Chinese patent medicines are not good, and the United States does not recognize this drug; If I could, I would have brought it back long ago last time. Ron shook his head.

"And how is this medicine made?" A patient asked.

"In that clinic I saw them process medicines, they used flowers, leaves, rhizomes and other substances of various plants, mixed them together and boiled them, and then they took the boiled liquid; I haven't been to the pharmaceutical factory, but I heard them say that the basic raw materials are the same, but there are a few more processes. Ron replied.

"I've been to Chinatown, and it seems that there are all kinds of medicinal herbs for sale in Chinatown, can we sell medicinal herbs according to the prescription and cook them ourselves? Isn't it illegal to buy plants? "There were suggestions.

"This is an infringement of the doctor's patent, and the prescription belongs to the doctor." There was a protest.

"As far as I know, Dr. Cheng has made his prescription public, and he has no plan to monopolize the prescription patent for profit." Ron was reminded, and he quickly found the prescription that Shen Long had written at the time, "Maybe we can really go to Chinatown and give it a try?" I can get in touch with that doctor and pay him the appropriate patent fees. ”

"So what are you waiting for? Let's hurry up! Shall we go to San Francisco or Los Angeles? Or to New York? "It's a few cities in the U.S. that have Chinatowns.

"We can make a few copies of the prescription and look for it in different cities, and I'm not sure we can find all the herbs in the United States." Ron immediately made a few copies of the prescription, and the patients took the prescription and went to the major cities with Chinatowns to buy the medicine.

Ron came to Chinatown in the lower city of Manhattan in the south end of New York, and under the guidance of a well-wisher, he found the largest Chinese medicine pharmacy, he smelled the familiar smell of Chinese medicine, walked into the pharmacy, and handed the prescription to the pharmacist.

The pharmacist took the prescription and studied it carefully, then looked up and asked, "Where did you get this prescription?" ”

"What? Questions? Ron tensed.

"No, it's a great prescription, and I can see that the doctor who prescribed it is quite powerful, but it has a fatal flaw." The pharmacist pointed to the line on the prescription and said, "It's okay to talk about other medicinal materials, but this Kunlun Golden Thread Snow Lotus has been extinct for many years, and I don't think anyone in the world can get this medicine." ”

He had been in the United States for too long and was unaware of the changes at home.

"How so? I've taken this medicine in China. Ron was confused, at the earliest, he came to Shen Long's medical hall every day to pick up medicine, asked the pharmacist to help boil the medicine, and then began to take Chinese patent medicine powder.

Coming out of the pharmacy, he called Shen Long, and Shen Long told him the truth of the matter, this herb was indeed extinct, but now it has been restored in his own hands.

Ron rekindled hope, but how could he get the herb to the United States?
