Chapter 229: The helplessness of Shiqiao Village
readx; It is not uncommon for officials to be in their positions, and compared with those who take long-term vacations with high salaries, or travel around the world to visit and study, Tian Wenjian's hands-off shopkeeper is really nothing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After saying goodbye to the leaders of the county party committee and county government, Tian Wenjian did not immediately report to the municipal party committee, but went to Panshan with Xiao Na to represent Xiao Ling in the United States to pay a farewell to her parents.
The people in the mountains got married early, and Xiao's father and mother were not yet fifty years old, and they looked very young. For the arrival of the two, the "two elders" were very enthusiastic. After generously accepting the New Year's goods, he was busy killing chickens and cutting meat, and left the two of them and the driver Xiao Li to have lunch at his house.
The dishes are very ordinary, but the reception specifications are very high, not only the village party secretary and the village director came to accompany them, but even Xiao Ling's enlightenment teacher and the principal of the Central Primary School of Xiaoba Township, Panshan County, heard the news, pulled Tian Wenjian to ask long and short questions, and inquired about Xiao Ling's recent situation in the United States.
Large villas, BMWs...... The photo in the laptop opened everyone's eyes, and they praised Xiao's father and mother for giving birth to a good daughter, not only did she have a career in the province, but she was so capable even after going abroad, it was really a golden phoenix flying out of the mountains.
After lunch, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and after saying goodbye to Xiao Ling's family, Tian Wenjian rushed straight to Shiqiao Village, wanting to see with his own eyes how the treatment and prevention and control of HIV-infected people in Panshan County were going after Mei Yuting was transferred.
To Tian Wenjian's great surprise, as soon as the car drove along the rugged mountain road into the entrance of the village, he saw a familiar Coaster military vehicle parked in front of the former blood collection station.
On the mottled courtyard wall, "there are many benefits of blood collection, and apheresis is more beneficial than full collection", "blood is the same as well water, and it is still so much to draw a few buckets", "more blood collection can not have high blood pressure"...... The white and gray slogans have not been erased, and the contrast between the black and pressed groups of people living with HIV who are waiting in line for treatment is more ironic and ironic.
This is the hardest hit area of AIDS infection, Tian Wenjian didn't want Xiao Na to take even a little risk, so he patted her arm and said casually: "You and Li Xia are waiting in the car, and I will come when I go." ”
Xiao Na looked at the village, shook her head and smiled: "The hospital car is here, maybe Xiaomei is here too, don't want to leave me." ”
"Okay then, but ......"
I wanted to remind Xiao Na to pay attention to safety, but looking at the simple villagers in the distance, Tian Wenjian swallowed it again.
There were no dogs in the village, but there were speculations or hostile glances, and Professor Le, who was over sixty years old, was standing in the middle of a group of fellow villagers talking something, trying to melt the anxiety in the hearts of the infected with a gentle smile.
Tian Wenjian and the others stood quietly outside the crowd, watching all this with their hearts twisted. At this moment, a mother came with her little girl, a beautiful girl with an innocent smile that bloomed like a flower. The villagers were surrounding Professor Le, anxious and frightened to collect the results of their blood samples, and his mother waited for the crowd to disperse before she walked slowly to Professor Le.
Professor Le took the test report handed by the mother and daughter, and glanced at it quickly, and the result made him feel like he was sinking into hell, but he was a doctor, and he couldn't help but tell the truth. He said something softly, as if only he could hear something, and the mother fell to her knees as if struck by lightning, and begged heartbreakingly: "Please save my child!" She's only 5 years old! She didn't do anything wrong...... If I die and her illness is cured, then let me die now......"
It has become an open secret that some people in Longjiang are infected with AIDS, but the propaganda department has always controlled public opinion and has not made a fuss. Xiao Na seemed to understand, grabbed Tian Wenjian's hand and trembled, and couldn't help shedding two lines of crystal tears.
"Xiao Tian, Xiao Na, why are you two here too?"
Professor He, dressed in a white coat, walked out of the small courtyard and stared at the two of them with an incredulous expression. Tian Wenjian hurriedly greeted him, held his hand, and whispered: "I came to deliver New Year's goods to my friend's parents, and I happened to be passing by, so I stopped by to take a look." ”
"What a coincidence, we just arrived." Professor He nodded, then pointed to the row of low houses in the courtyard, and said with a complicated expression: "Since you are here, let's go in and have a look, Lao Kang and they are all here." ”
Tian Wenjian glanced back, frowned, and asked solemnly, "What about the people from the local political axe and the health bureau?" ”
"Deputy Mayor Liu and Stationmaster Wang of the epidemic prevention station are here, but they are also clever women who are difficult to cook without rice, and they don't do much."
Half of the members of the expert group of the Air Force Hospital came, and none of the active military personnel and the employees of the 315 factory merged with the past. Tian Wenjian walked around the courtyard, and then walked into the easternmost office under the leadership of Professor He Bingsu.
A long chair with wooden strips, four worn desks, and the words "Shiqiao Village Blood Collection Station of the Red Cross Society of Panshan County" are printed on them. Seeing Tian Wenjian and the others walking in, a man in his forties who looked like a leader hurriedly stood up, beckoned them to sit down, and said in a low voice: "Team Leader He, it seems that today is too busy, why don't I arrange a place in the town to save you from tossing back and forth?" ”
"It's not far from the airport, and we have a car, so we don't have to go through the hassle."
It's not the first time that the expert group of the Air Force Hospital has come over, and the style is really excellent, Deputy Mayor Liu sighed lightly, nodded heavily, and then looked at Tian Wenjian and the others, and asked curiously: "Team Leader He, these two are ......?"
Professor He sat down, looked through the medical records, and said lightly: "The former director of the Air Force Hospital and his family, our free clinic funding was set when he was in office. ”
Deputy Mayor Liu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, hurriedly stretched out his right hand, and said in a panicked manner: "Secretary Tian, right?" You are Secretary Tian of the Working Committee of the Development Zone, right? ”
Without waiting for Tian Wenjian to speak, Professor He turned around and smiled proudly: "It's not long ago, now it's the acting county magistrate of Hulin." ”
"Hello Tian County Mayor, Liu Chuanyin, deputy mayor of Shiqiao Town, welcome to our town to inspect the work."
"Mayor Liu is polite, this is a winding mountain, even if it is the inspection work, it will not be my turn."
Having said that, Tian Wenjian looked at the crowd waiting in line outside the window for inspection, and asked with a heavy face: "Mayor Liu, how many people in Shiqiao Town are infected?" ”
In front of him, not only is the former director of the Air Force Hospital, but also the acting county magistrate of Hulin County, and even one of the members of the investigation team of the State Council, Deputy Mayor Liu has nothing to hide, so he simply said generously: "The screening results came out early, according to incomplete statistics, the number of infected people in our county is 783, and our town is the hardest hit area, accounting for more than half, totaling 431 people." ”
Tian Wenjian nodded slightly, beckoned him to sit down, and then asked, "Have the funds for prevention and control and treatment been implemented?" ”
Deputy Mayor Liu was stuck, with a sad expression, Professor He sighed, put down the medical records in his hand, and said with a sigh: "The initial blood screening test, free school for orphans, and free consultation for pregnant women have been done, but there is still a big gap in funding. At present, the biggest problem is that grassroots doctors do not know how to treat, do not know much about treatment failure, do not know that the patient has failed treatment, so some treatments have no effect, and do not know how to re-optimize the treatment plan. ”
Since the first case of HIV infection was detected in the Air Force Hospital, Tian Wenjian has been following the progress of prevention, control and treatment in Panshan County. Although he did not study medicine, as the former director of the Air Force Hospital, he still understands that the antiviral program will fail sooner or later, and after taking it for a period of time, the drug will definitely not work, and the treatment plan must be re-optimized.
Naturally, large hospitals with advanced medical technology are not a problem, but for township hospitals and even barefoot doctors, it is undoubtedly more difficult than landing on the moon.
"The ministry, province and city also provide some free medicines, but infected people can experience some serious side effects after taking them. Ordinary people don't understand this, thinking that if you feel good after eating, it is a good medicine, and if you don't feel good, it is not a good medicine. Despite all the work we have done, the medicines are still being thrown all over the place, and they say they are too uncomfortable to eat. ”
Looking at Deputy Mayor Liu's depressed look, Tian Wenjian sighed lightly and said helplessly: "The above is fighting the fire, it was too hasty, and I didn't make any preparations." In foreign countries, the clinical treatment of AIDS is very rigorous, and it takes a long time to prepare human, financial, and material resources and prepare patients. If these points are not done well, it will be a big problem to rush the medicine up. ”
Professor He nodded heavily, looked at the black crowd outside the window, and said solemnly: "Yes, just because we didn't prepare anything, we grabbed antiviral drugs and went on them, not only did we have gastrointestinal reactions, dizziness, headaches, limb weakness and other non-fatal side effects, but even dangerous reactions such as liver damage and anemia.
As soon as I got out of the car, I was caught by a patient's family and refused to let me go, thinking that I was some kind of official. Saying that the patient was fine before, but after taking the medicine we gave last time, he said that we were giving poison. ”
"How is it being treated now?" Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment, and then asked.
"There is a lack of medical treatment, and there is basically no treatment."
Professor He stood up, grabbed a list from another desk, and handed it to Tian Wenjian, and said angrily: "The province and the city do provide some medicines, but there are very few medicines that are really effective. The Chinese medicine is pulled here by car, but it doesn't work at all if you eat it.
In desperation, Lao Le and I found blue medicine last month, and used the hospital's free clinic fund to entrust them to purchase three kilograms of lamivudine on their behalf, and bought capsules and came back to pack them themselves, this time we packed more than 40,000 capsules, which should be able to last for a month or two. ”
"Is that medicine expensive?" Cortana, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask.
"160,000 kilograms, there is no way to buy it."
As soon as Professor He finished speaking, Deputy Mayor Liu took out a medicine box from the drawer and introduced with a sad face: "That's it, what is Heptin called in the market, there is only one plate in a box, only 14 tablets, and the cheapest pharmaceutical company also sells more than 200, how can the people afford it?" ”
"Alas!" Professor He let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "It is not possible to treat AIDS with lamivudine alone, and it also needs to be combined with at least three antiviral drugs such as zidovudine, which is not cheap!" ”
It is already rare for the political axe to be able to provide ordinary antiviral drugs, and it is unthinkable for them to provide second-line drugs such as lamivudine and zidovudine for free. Tian Wenjian rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I have to find Hu Eo, he has a lot of money and a pharmaceutical factory, so he should be able to help." ”
"Don't look for it, it's useless to look for it."
Professor He didn't think about it, so he said angrily: "First, they can't produce those medicines, and they all rely on imports at this stage. Second, even if they can successfully imitate it, it will not be put into large-scale production. ”
The life-saving medicine can be produced but not produced, Tian Wenjian was confused, and asked puzzledly: "Why?" ”
"The price of AIDS drugs is very strictly controlled by the state, and manufacturers are not only unprofitable, but may even lose money, who will invest huge sums of money to imitate and invest huge sums of money in production?"
After a pause, Professor He continued: "Before the state did not subsidize it, Blue Medicine would not have done such a stupid thing. However, the person surnamed Hu is not bad, after learning that we urgently need lamivudine, not only did he not make a penny for us to procure, but also personally paid more than 300,000 yuan to buy two kilograms of original medicine and gave it to us. ”
Deputy Mayor Liu nodded, and added excitedly: "Mr. Hu came last Sunday, brought gifts to the infected children, ate with them, and left more than 3,000 yuan for several patients whose families were particularly difficult before leaving, and we were not allowed to publicize it, let alone publicize it." ”
It is necessary not to publicize or publicize, first, for fear of making a fuss and affecting the investment environment in Longjiang. The second is that he is afraid of the tree, after all, there are too many difficult people, and it will be troublesome for anyone to go to him. Despite this, Tian Wenjian was still very surprised, and his impression of Hu Eo changed a lot at once.
"Lao Le, Lao Kang, they have also donated, or can we hold on to today?"
The first fund for this treatment site was the more than two million left by Xiao Ling. Mei Yuting was afraid that the funds would not be used, so she simply sent a lot of money to the account of the Air Force Hospital, and entrusted the management of the old experts with the three million she squeezed out of the mayor's fund.
In this way, the Air Force Hospital has formed an indissoluble bond with Shiqiao Village. The veteran experts come once a week and spare no effort to train the medical staff while treating the infected people, and this is still the case today.
Obviously, more than 5 million yuan of treatment funds have long been spent, and there is not much left of the free medical fund of the Air Force Hospital. Looking at Professor He's worried look, Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Professor He, how much have you donated?" ”
He Bingsu waved his hand and said casually: "More than 90,000, that's all there is to it." ”
Tian Wenjian was very moved by the high demeanor of the old men, looked back at Xiao Na, and then said lightly: "More than 400 patients have more than 40 million yuan a year, I really can't help with such a big thing, I'm ashamed." ”
As soon as his words fell, Xiao Na suddenly rummaged through her pockets, felt out the only more than 1,000 yuan on her body, carefully put it on the desk, and said embarrassedly: "Professor He, this is a little bit of our heart, I'm sorry for you." ”
"You are different from us, you have just gotten married, you have just joined the workforce, and you are not well-off, so you should take it back."
"This is Cortana's heart, if you don't accept it, I'm afraid she won't even be able to eat when she goes back." Seeing that Professor He was about to refuse, Tian Wenjian hurriedly nodded and said.
After the HIV incident, the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee and municipal government have expressed their stance on the issue of treatment funding, but apart from a large number of traditional Chinese medicines with no efficacy and a few antiviral drugs, there has been no real action.
As a conscientious medical worker, He Bingsu was strongly dissatisfied with this. However, in this environment, it is not easy to allow them to go to the countryside for treatment in an open and honest manner, and they can only accept this grim reality.
In fact, he still has an idea, that is, he hopes that Tian Wenjian can do something through the political axe channel. Ketian Wenjian is the acting county magistrate of Hulin County, and he can't manage the affairs of Panshan at all, let alone the affairs of the city. This made the old man very helpless, and he had to accept the more than 1,000 yuan without saying a word.
After greeting several old experts next door, Tian Wenjian left the village shrouded in illness with an extremely heavy heart. He didn't get into the car immediately, but stood at the entrance of the village and looked back for a while, looking at the helpless patients, and at the back of Professor He, Professor Le, Director Kang and other old experts.
On the way back to the city, there was silence in the car, and it wasn't until she entered the city that Cortana asked in a low voice, "Husband, shall we go to the station now?" ”
"Go to Blue Sky Group to sell shares! If anyone wants it, I'm going to sell the 400 original shares of Blue Sky Holdings. ”
Xiao Na didn't know what he wanted to do, and was silent for a while before she cautiously reminded: "In half a year, the bank loan will be due." ”
There should be people who want to buy it now, but it will definitely not sell it at a good price, Tian Wenjian weighed it, nodded slightly, and said, "Forget it, let's wait a few months before selling." ”
"As long as you repay the bank loan, I will support you in everything else." Cortana put her arm around him and said quietly.
Tian Wenjian took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, then gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Be careful on the way back, remember to call me when you get home." ”
It's the New Year, Tian Wenjian, the new aunt, can't go back, and Xiao Na has to go back to her parents' house. The reason why she was sent back so early was also due to safety considerations, after all, the opponent she had to face next was too strong, and Tian Wenjian was really not sure.
The most painful thing in life is separation, thinking that this separation is a coming month, Xiao Na endures it, endures it, and tears still can't help but flow.
Li Xia glanced at the rearview mirror and couldn't help asking, "County Magistrate Tian, do you want me to send my sister-in-law back to Jiangcheng?" ”
Without waiting for Tian Wenjian to speak, Xiao Na choked up and said, "I'll just take the car back, don't be so troublesome." ”
