Chapter 438 I am not the God of Medicine
After rescuing Lu Yong from the detention center, Chen Feng took Lu Yong back to the law firm for the convenience of questioning the case.
"Fuck? Brother Feng, you got him out so quickly?"
Seeing Chen Feng return to the law firm with Lu Yong by his side, Zhang Yida was surprised and a little shocked.
You know, Lu Yong is a detained suspect. Even if he goes through the bail process, it shouldn't be so fast, right?
At this moment.
He finally understood.
No one can save the people Chen Feng wants to send in. Similarly, no one can stop the people he wants to save.
"Sit down."
Chen Feng motioned Lu Yong to sit down.
Wait for Lu Yong to sit down.
Chen Feng began to ask him a series of questions:
"Did you buy all these drugs on behalf of others?"
"Yes."
Lu Yong nodded. He didn't dare to lie in front of Chen Feng: "Oh, by the way, I have another friend, but I heard that he fled back to Indu after I was arrested."
"Indu?"
Chen Feng thought for a while. If his accomplice fled abroad, the Longguo police would really have no way to deal with him: "Did you buy all these drugs from Indu?"
"Yes."
Lu Yong continued to nod.
"Okay."
Chen Feng said again: "Why would you buy drugs for them? Don't you know that this behavior is illegal?"
Lu Yong is a cancer patient. He can't afford domestic drugs, so he chooses to go abroad to buy this kind of generic drugs. If he just takes it himself, it won't be a problem.
But!
It's different if Lu Yong sells these drugs in China!
According to relevant regulations.
This kind of drug that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration is considered a counterfeit drug, and it is illegal to sell it without authorization.
"I... I just feel sorry for them."
"Why do you feel sorry for them?"
"I'm a cancer patient, you should know that."
Lu Yong hesitated for a moment: "No one knows the pain of cancer better than me, and the cost of treatment is even more staggering."
"To put it bluntly, this disease is a bottomless pit."
"It's okay if you have money, but if you don't have money, you can only wait to die."
"As for me, I was born in a relatively poor family, and I'm not rich myself. In addition, I have this disease, and my family can't afford the medicine."
"So, I can only take this kind of generic medicine, and I know some friends in India, which is also convenient."
"..."
Chen Feng didn't speak, but listened patiently, and at the same time sighed.
Cancer is one of the most serious diseases in the world.
The cost of treatment is staggering.
Anti-cancer drugs are even more outrageously expensive.
In particular, the medical insurance level in this world is relatively backward, and it is probably decades behind compared to the earth. (Note: Do not bring it into reality. After all, the medical level is very advanced now, and it has improved a lot compared to the past.)
"You should also know that after my relatives and friends learned that I was using this medicine, they all entrusted me to buy it on their behalf."
"This spread to ten, ten to a hundred, and finally to the patient group..."
"Then, they all entrusted me to buy this medicine on their behalf."
"Because there were so many people buying it, I was reported later, saying that I was selling fake medicine, and then I was arrested."
Lu Yong said innocently: "Lawyer Chen Feng, I really didn't know that this act of purchasing on behalf of others was illegal."
To be honest, his original intention was not to resell drugs, but to help people, otherwise the price of the medicine would not be so cheap.
After all, he himself has a deep understanding of the pain of cancer.
"So you just want to help them, right?" Chen Feng nodded and asked.
"Yes."
"Then how much is the purchasing price of the medicine you sell?"
"Five hundred yuan a bottle. After deducting the cost, I only make 10 to 20 yuan. If you don't believe me, you can check it. I have transaction records."
"..."
Chen Feng paused slightly.
He had already checked the price of the medicine. Both the price and the profit were exactly the same as what Lu Yong said.
Compared with imported medicines that cost tens of thousands of yuan, this price is also much cheaper. The key point is that ordinary people can afford it.
This is why so many people ask him to buy it for them.
With such a big price difference, most people will definitely choose the cheaper one.
The main reason why generic drugs are so cheap is that they have no R\u0026D costs.
You know, it takes a lot of time and energy to develop a class of drugs, and it also requires patent fees.
But generic drugs are different. They directly save all the steps and just need to copy and paste the drugs.
This behavior has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the emergence of generic drugs can allow more people to take cheap drugs.
The disadvantage is that if a large number of generic drugs appear on the market, this will lead to no one developing new drugs.
It's like an author's hard-earned manuscript is copied and pasted by some pirated websites, and the author gets nothing from the money he earned.
If everyone supports piracy, the author can't make money, and the number of online writers will gradually disappear.
This is also about the importance of medical insurance.
"Lawyer Chen Feng, are you sure about this case?"
Lu Yong was a little embarrassed, but he still asked.
It's not that he doubts Chen Feng, but this case is really not easy to handle. A series of evidence has shown that he is selling fake drugs. There is no doubt about this.
"No lawyer can say that he can win 100%."
Chen Feng spoke directly.
There is no winner or loser in this case.
From different perspectives, neither side is wrong.
Legally, Lu Yong broke the law.
Humanly, Lu Yong saved people.
The two are contradictory.
It's like, in the bar exam, you are asked to choose between emotion over law and law over emotion. Which one would you choose?
The answer is that neither of these two statements is completely correct.
In this world, there is no emotion that is not in line with human nature, but there is rational legal principle. Therefore, it is not that law is greater than emotion, but that the objective justice represented by the law is greater than the subjective emotion caused by individuals.
Teacher Luo also said that although law is greater than emotion, people's hearts can be argued.
In other words.
There is only one way to solve the current dilemma, that is to let the public accept his statement reasonably.
Although the law is dead, people are alive.
"..."
As Chen Feng finished speaking.
Zhang Yida beside him couldn't help but glance at Chen Feng.
Others can say this.
But if Chen Feng said it, it always feels a little wrong.
It seems that Chen Feng has never lost in such a long time, right?
"Lawyer Chen Feng, I really didn't think that things would get so serious. I bought drugs on their behalf just to help them. I never thought about making a profit, nor did I think about being a savior, let alone thinking that this was illegal."
Lu Yong's voice was a little choked: "Because... I'm not the God of Medicine."
"I just want to live. Is there anything wrong with that?"
