Chapter Fifty-One: Fake Medicine Harms People

  Seeing Lin Qiwei's stunned expression, Wang Zhi's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he asked somewhat doubtfully: "Have you been brewing the medicine according to the prescription these past few days?"

  "Yes," Lin Qiwei said with a bitter smile, "I wouldn't dare to take Grandfather's body lightly. Every detail has been taken care of. It's just the beginning of summer and the weather is gradually getting hotter. We're all being very careful."

  "This is strange," Wang Zhi's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he muttered: "It shouldn't be, from the pulse condition, Lao Yezi was because of a sudden surge of yang energy in his body, but his physical function couldn't keep up, leading to chaos in his bodily functions. This is the consequence of taking large amounts of highly tonifying medicine."

  "Think again and see if there's anything you've missed." Wang Zhi thought for a moment before asking again, he was still very confident in his judgment and shouldn't be wrong.

  "Lin Qiwei thought carefully and shook his head: "No, indeed not. Since you instructed, the old man's diet and daily life have been taken care of by a dedicated person, without any mistakes."

  "Where is the medicinal residue from these past few days? Have someone bring it over, I'll take a look." Upon hearing Lin Qiwu's response, Wang Zhi pondered for a moment before saying.

  "Alright." Lin Qiwei immediately summoned his secretary and gave instructions.

  At this time, He Guangrong on the other side had already been stunned for a long time and hadn't come back to his senses. Since Wang Zhi walked into the hospital, an aura of inviolability burst out from his body in an instant, making people dare not underestimate him. Even when he sternly scolded Lin Qiwu, Lin Qiwu was still smiling along with him. He couldn't believe that this young man's medical skills were so formidable, making a group of people trust him like this, and even Lin Qiwu, the big mayor, didn't dare to refute him.

  "Wang Zhi, what was the pill you gave to Old Lin just now?" asked Zhou Boran, who couldn't help but ask after seeing Wang Zhi and Lin Qigui finish their conversation. He had a very close relationship with Wang Zhi, so he didn't have many reservations.

  "That was a life-saving pill I had just prepared a few days ago, called Huanyang Dan. No matter what the disease is, as long as there is still a breath left, it can keep him safe for three days." Wang Zhi explained to Zhou Boran in a low voice, and he had great respect for Zhou Boran. It could be said that he was able to recognize so many people so quickly, thanks to Zhou Boran's great contribution. Without Zhou Boran, although he wouldn't have been buried on the streets, he absolutely wouldn't have risen so quickly.

  King's words were light, but when heard by everyone, there was no doubt that a spring thunder had sounded.

  "Ah!" Hearing Wang Zhi's words, the people around him all took a deep breath. No matter what illness the patient had, as long as they still had one breath left, they could be saved for three days without any harm... This... How is this possible? There actually exists such a divine medicine in the world! Many critically ill patients have lost their lives due to delayed treatment. If there was such a divine medicine, how many people would have the opportunity to be reborn? The crowd really didn't dare to think about it anymore.

  "Is there really such a divine medicine?" Zhang Peihou was the first to react, and couldn't help but say: "If it can be mass-produced, it will undoubtedly cause a storm in the medical community."

  "Haha, Director Zhang, you're too naive. This medicine can't be mass-produced, and even if it could, the materials needed are extremely hard to find. The refining process is also very complicated, and one small mistake can ruin a whole batch of materials." Wang Zhi said with a smile, but what he said was true. If not for his luck, this medicine would have been impossible to make. He had spent over 100 million yuan searching for the necessary materials online during this period, and even with his exceptional skills, he only managed to produce six pills. The cost of each pill averaged over 2 million yuan, which was simply unacceptable.

  "Heh heh, that's right. This kind of divine medicine isn't so easily produced, I was being greedy." Zhang Peihou said with a smile, but in his heart, he also sighed. As the director of the Central Hospital, he knew the value of this medicine, and if it were really sold, it would be priceless."

  A few people were talking on one side, He Guangrong listened in his ears, but he was already calculating in his heart. As a soldier, he knew the preciousness of this medicine even more. If he could get a few pills, it would be equivalent to giving the soldiers another life, and it would be an extreme treasure! At this time, He Guangrong had already forgotten his previous impression of Wang Zhi, and he was thinking about how to get along with Wang Zhi.

  Not long after, the secretary brought over the dregs of the medicine from the past few days. Wang Zhi took them and examined them carefully.

  "What's wrong? Is something not right?" Lin Qiwai hastily asked after seeing Wang Zhi finish checking.

  "It's not just wrong, it's completely wrong. What are these herbs? They're simply trash." Wang Zhi let out a deep sigh, his face dark and frightening.

  "What did he say?" Lin Qiwu hastily asked.

  "Haha," Wang Zhi said with a wry smile, "These medicines are all fake. There are only a few real medicines inside, and they're all processed and manufactured artificially. Fortunately, these unscrupulous guys aren't too reckless, the raw materials they use are all tonic in nature, so generally speaking, they won't kill people."

  "Didn't you guys test the medicinal materials that were bought back?" Wang Zhi asked strangely, with Lin Lao's identity, he should have had a special health doctor, this kind of mistake shouldn't have happened.

  "This old man has two attending physicians, but unfortunately they are both Western doctors and don't understand Chinese medicine. They can only see the shape, not the properties of the medicine." Lin Qiwu sighed and said, then his face changed and he called over his secretary: "Investigate, thoroughly investigate these unscrupulous things that play with people's lives. This time I want to catch all these heartless wolves in one net."

  "Got it, Mayor Lin." The secretary responded and hurried away. Everyone present was shocked by the aura on Lin Qiwei's body, and they secretly sighed that this time Jianghuai City's Pharmaceutical Bureau would have a big cleanup. This matter that almost killed Old Lin was a huge deal.

  "King Chi, is the old master's body all right?" After instructing his secretary, Lin Qiwei asked King Chi again. To be honest, at the moment when the old master fell ill, Lin Qiwei had some doubts about King Chi. Fortunately, he was cautious and didn't make a big deal out of it, or else King Chi would have been in trouble.

  "For the time being, I'll just prescribe some medicine to regulate his body, and then I'll hurry up and make that medicine for Old Master Li to take. He'll recover soon." Wang Zhi said in a low voice, his tone somewhat despondent. Having just experienced Li Xuanjie's realism during the day, and now experiencing the pharmaceutical merchant's dark-heartedness, Wang Zhi felt a bit exhausted. The road to revitalizing traditional Chinese medicine is long and arduous indeed.

  As he walked out of the hospital's outpatient building, Wang Zhi took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily. At this moment, he really wanted to shout loudly at the bright moon in the sky. He felt a bit overwhelmed, with unscrupulous doctors and ruthless businessmen being stumbling blocks on his path.

  Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are different. The most difficult part of Western medicine is diagnosis, once the diagnosis is clear, the treatment method is fixed, which makes it easy to hold someone accountable. However, traditional Chinese medicine is different, for the same disease, there may be many different diagnostic results, leading to many different treatment methods, so the risk of accidents is also very high. Once an accident occurs, people will develop a rejection of traditional Chinese medicine.

  The same is true for traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine also has fake drugs, but most of the time, Western medicine has trademarks and anti-counterfeiting marks, so the market for fake drugs will not be large, and it's easy to spot them. However, this is not the case with traditional Chinese medicine, as most of the herbs are sold loose, people almost have no ability to distinguish between real and fake herbs, which is a huge obstacle to the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine. It is imperative to introduce a modernized system for traditional Chinese medical treatment and popularize TCM theories among the masses.

  PS: Collect, recommend, reward, thank you for smiling. The future of traditional Chinese medicine is left to all book friends. Although we can't do anything for traditional Chinese medicine in reality, let it bloom in our dreams. Even if it really has no market, I believe it will still survive in our hearts, because it is a part of our soul.
