When I saw this title, I thought of a movie I had watched before, "I'm Not the God of Medicine." This movie was widely praised and had a large audience. On the one hand, it was because of its novel subject matter, and on the other hand, it was On the one hand, it is because it is in line with the psychology of the people and captures the heart. I remember there is a line in the theme song: I don’t need the halo of God, I just want your ordinaryness to impress people. Why, because people nowadays can’t afford to get sick. Medical treatment is expensive, and so are medicines. Especially if you have a special disease, the medical expenses will be like running water. Gleevec, the specific drug used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia in "I'm Not a Medicine God", is very expensive. One of the reasons why it is expensive is that patent protection period is limited. The company invests heavily in R&D, but after successful R&D, the patent protection period is only seven years. After the protection period, other manufacturers can imitate.
From the perspective of ordinary people, especially those who have patients at home, the helplessness and sadness of expensive special medicines for medical treatment make people have to bow to reality, the kind of feeling of seeing their loved ones sick and uncomfortable, and having to spend huge sums of money The pain and helplessness of buying medicine make people feel that life is really difficult. For those who are sick family members, they rack their brains and go abroad to buy generic drugs just to save their family members' lives. The high medical expenses make people feel extremely powerless.
But for those who research drugs, there are also reasons for the sky-high fees. One is because of the patent fees mentioned above, and the other is that the investment in researching a drug is huge, which not only consumes Time and energy, and more importantly, continuous clinical trials. If it fails, you have to start over. The money invested in this is also conceivable, and if it is a foreign specific drug, the price is even more expensive. As an ordinary citizen, , I still hope that the price of medicines will continue to drop so that more and more sick people can take medicines and regain their health. Sometimes it is too painful to not be able to survive because of money. I believe that the country’s medical policies will become more and more effective. We are getting more and more thoughtful, and the 700,000 yuan special medicine is indeed expensive, but there must be a reason why it is expensive. Because it is scarce, it is expensive.
