"Oh my God! Did Mr. MacDonald really come up with a whole new set of standards in such a short period of time? Armand of Le Figaro said in surprise. While quickly opening the thick book of materials in his hand, he flipped it over. Compared with the detailed and trivial numbers in the previous report, the latter content may be easier for him to understand.

"Well, it's here." Armand gave a quick glance at the catalog:

I. Introduction

2. Basic principles and criteria for judgment

3. Reasonable process and content that must be verified

……

However, Armand did not have time to take a closer look, because the press conference was still going on, and Scrooge's speech was not over yet.

"Strictly speaking, this standard was not completed in such a short period of time, but was proposed after the necessary expansion and further standardization of the original McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company's own internal standards. We want to be able to understand it, in the pharmaceutical industry, the industry that needs the most conscience -- yes, the pharmaceutical industry is the most conscientious industry, because it's too specialized, and some of the questions, if you are not experts in this area, are completely incomprehensible. Even experts in this field are prone to making mistakes – so it's important to have a system that is as standardized as possible to help companies reduce such mistakes. Starting today, all McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical products will be re-tested to this standard to ensure they are safe. I would like to think if I invented the sea. Lo. Because before such a set of rules was determined, then the sea. Lo. The error of the cause will certainly not happen; Or even if something else like this happens, I can face the Hippocratic oath and claim with no shame that I have 'done everything in my power and judgment' and have a clear conscience. ”

"Ah, I see. That makes perfect sense. Armand nodded, thinking.

"At the same time, I also hope that this standard can provide a reference for other pharmaceutical companies in the United States and even the world, and hope to promote the common progress of the entire pharmaceutical industry, so as to provide better services for patients around the world." Scrooge continued.

"Ah, that's a great idea." Sam whispered, "I think we should have Congress discuss this standard and make it a national law and enforce it." Because, well, like Mr. McDonald mentioned, the pharmaceutical industry is the industry that needs the most conscience. However, people working in this industry do not necessarily have a conscience. Conscientious capitalists like Mr. Scrooge MacDonald are rare, and most of them are vampires, especially those who are Jewish. ”

"In addition to the control of the quality of drugs within the drug manufacturers, we also thought of another problem." Scrooge continued to sell his set of things, "It's a matter of the properties of the drug itself. Many medicines, while using their healing properties, also have other very strict side effects. In fact, this is true for all medications. Therefore, if used incorrectly, the medicine that saves people can also become poison that kills. The proper use of drugs, especially some drugs with great side effects, requires considerable professional knowledge and skills. Some medicines, if sold directly in the store, so that all patients can buy them at will, considering that most patients cannot have sufficient knowledge of medicine and medicine, then they are even more likely to poison themselves with these things than to cure their own diseases with these things. And now, these drugs must be retained because of their special irreplaceable effects. So I thought, why can't we just put these drugs into categories? For example, we divide drugs into two main categories: drugs that require a doctor's prescription to provide, and drugs that can be used more freely without a doctor's prescription. I call the former prescription drugs, they generally have more severe side effects and must be used correctly under the guidance of an experienced doctor; I call the latter an over-the-counter drug, which focuses more on safety between efficacy and safety for common conditions, and does not require much professional knowledge to use, and can be placed in pharmacies and purchased by patients themselves. In the over-the-counter drug, we divide it into two categories, one can be sold in pharmacies, and consumers can buy it with a doctor's prescription. The other can only be used in hospitals, under the supervision of a doctor. In this way, it should be possible to greatly reduce the risk of misuse of drugs. ”

"It's a really good building! It's really Mr. MacDonald, how can his head be so good? God really favored this man. John couldn't help but slap his thigh hard. Well, we want to cover this news, and we want to promote the full implementation of this proposal in the United Kingdom. We cannot afford to fall behind the Americans on such issues. ”

"It's really a genius idea, well, so that we don't have to worry about the use of drugs that have too many side effects to master. Well, I think actually the sea. Lo. As a prescription drug, the patient can only get it if he is sure of his illness and has a prescription from a doctor. Wouldn't it be possible to avoid the problem of large-scale abuse? Mr. MacDonald is such a smart man. If only he were French. Armand sighed as well.

"Hahaha, God forbid, Mr. MacDonald is American." Sam, who heard Armand's words, smiled triumphantly.

Scrooge's speech continued: "It is best to hand over the quality inspection and classification of drugs to independent non-profit organizations, so as to avoid errors caused by various enterprises due to operational and other reasons, and also make the inspection and grading of drugs more scientific and credible." I had a telephone conversation with Mr. Morgan about this idea. We have all agreed to set aside a sum of money as an initial donor for the establishment of such an independent institution. In addition, we believe that such an institution must also have a reliable watchdog. Mr. Morgan and I both believe that the U.S. Congress might be a good watchdog.

That's how we envisioned this organization to work. First of all, all its operating expenses should mainly come from the cost of drugs sent by enterprises for testing and social donations. A breakdown of the use of all his funds should be made available to the public on a regular basis. The cost of testing any drug tested at this facility should be borne by the pharmaceutical company. The number of tests for all prescribed items should also be fully disclosed to the public. It is convenient for consumers or professionals to choose. All drugs that have been tested will also have the right to use the logo of this independent drug testing agency on their packaging. In addition, the manufacturer of any kind of drug to be tested should also commit to allow this agency to conduct random inspections of the quality of the relevant drugs three times a year without prior notice. The items and costs of the sampling inspection shall be borne by the institution itself, and the results shall be announced to the public. I can tell you that all of McDonald's Chemical & Pharmaceutical products will be tested by this agency. As for the name of this institution, Mr. Morgan and I initially designated it as a 'standard drug test'......"

"Ah, that's a good idea, too. To be honest, if I let those companies test themselves, I can't trust any other pharmaceutical company except McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceuticals. It would be much better to have such an independent institution, and you don't have to worry about taking black heart medicine anymore. Sam whispered.

That concludes Scrooge's speech, and then it's time for reporters to ask questions. This is something that journalists have been waiting for for a long time. Moreover, at today's press conference, the press release took up too much time, and by now, the time has reached half past eleven, so the time left for reporters to ask questions is naturally quite limited. This naturally makes reporters more anxious.

According to the rules of the past, reporters who are still big newspapers can get the opportunity to ask questions. The first opportunity to ask a question fell to Sam, a reporter for the New York Daily Times.

"Mr. MacDonald, I would like to know that once that facility called 'Standard Drug Testing' that you mentioned is established, you will be able to put the 'sea. Lo. Because 'will it be handed over to this agency for testing?' If you pass the test, your company will continue to produce 'sea. Lo. Because'? Sam asked.

"Thank you for your question. As I said, all of our medicines will be sent to this facility for testing. As for the sea. Lo. Because, because before this incident, there were already some businesses that bought the sea from us. Lo. Because of the relevant patents, and has already started to produce this product. So we're going to put the sea. Lo. Because it is a Class II prescription drug, that is, a category that must be used under the direct supervision of a doctor. If it passes the test, we will continue to produce it, because at least for now, we don't have a better alternative for surgical anesthesia and some other uses. But in the future, everyone will definitely not be able to see the sea in the pharmacy. Lo. Because of it. Of course, we will stop the sea until the test results of a third-party independent agency come out. Lo. for production and sales. Scrooge replied.

"Thank you for your answer." "I think it was a wise decision," Sam said. ”

The second person to be given a question was John, a reporter for The Times.

"Mr. MacDonald, I'm John a reporter for The Times, and I'm wondering, do you think third-party testing of pharmaceuticals should be a mandatory policy? Also, when will the organization you mentioned start operating? ”

"Ah," Scrooge laughed, "whether or not it becomes a mandatory policy or law, it's not for me to decide." It depends on the will of the people. As for the time of the start of the operation of this body. I don't think it will be too long, and if the Congress goes well, it will be up and running by the end of this year at the most. ”
