Pharmaceutical sales reps go around promoting drugs.
This is quite common nowadays.
But many people might not know about this sales model.
It was Purdue Company that pioneered it.
Purdue Company was originally a very small company.
It was on the brink of bankruptcy.
And it was acquired by the very famous Sackler Family.
The specifics of the Sackler family’s ethnicity aren’t important.
Originally, the three Sackler brothers ran an advertising company.
Their advertising company rose to fame using this sales model.
But they served well-known pharmaceutical companies.
Pfizer.
Actually, when we look back now.
The major pharmaceutical companies in today’s world have serious black marks.
But right now, it’s Purdue Company’s turn.
Especially with this drug.
"Mr. Fulton, I’m sorry, but my clinic is just a cosmetic surgery clinic."
Zhou Mo Sen was already being quite polite.
In other words: You should leave.
But, Fulton was obviously a seasoned pharmaceutical rep.
"Dr. Zhou, you must perform many cosmetic surgeries, and as long as you prescribe..."
Zhou Mo Sen interrupted him, "But I’ve already partnered with another pharmaceutical firm."
Fulton followed up, "And that medication is...?"
"Vicodin," Zhou Mo Sen casually said.
Fulton chuckled and said, "How can Vicodin compare to our Oxycodone?"
He wasn’t wrong.
Vicodin is already dangerous.
And Oxycodone... it could directly be considered a drug.
Zhou Mo Sen could only nod, "You do have a good drug, but our clinic doesn’t need it right now."
Still quite tactful.
It wasn’t that Zhou Mo Sen was backing down, he just couldn’t help it.
Oxycodone is legal after all, and Purdue Company is also a legal company.
This Fulton is legally promoting it.
"Thank you for your compliments, Dr. Zhou. How about this? Our company has some small gifts, please accept them, this... even if Dr. Zhou doesn’t want to cooperate, it’s alright, this visit..."
Zhou Mo Sen understood that a sales rep like Fulton had to meet quotas.
He accepted and said, "However, my attitude is clear, Mr. Fulton, I also hope you understand, for a clinic like mine, the procedures we perform are still within a controlled scope."
Fulton nodded, "Thank you, Dr. Zhou, I’m just completing a task."
At this point, it was all understood without further words needed.
Zhou Mo Sen helped him complete his visit requirement, and Fulton also implied he wouldn’t return.
That was it.
Fulton left, and Zhou Mo Sen returned to his office.
He opened the small gifts from Fulton.
These were comparable to the gifts you get when opening a credit card back home.
Just more exquisite.
Among them was an invitation card.
It stated that holders could attend a banquet at a certain manor.
It was obvious that at the banquet, Purdue Company would offer many benefits to the attending doctors.
Zhou Mo Sen sat on his office chair and tossed the invitation card into the wastebasket.
Honestly, he understood very well why reps like Fulton came.
Currently, Zhou Mo Sen was extremely famous.
KNBC called him the most famous cosmetic surgeon in all America.
That’s probably accurate.
So, someone like Fulton visiting was too normal.
Moreover, it was foreseeable.
In the future, more people like him would come.
The drug and medical companies in the United States are myriad.
Once you get famous, you definitely have to deal with these.
If he weren’t a transmigrator.
Just a regular American doctor.
He would almost certainly use Oxycodone.
This drug in the United States is FDA-approved, completely legal.
And virtually unregulated.
But Zhou Mo Sen is a transmigrator.
He knows the real situation of this drug.
These are the notorious opioids.
In our country, dropping a single pill would cause a stir in the department.
If a box gets misplaced, forget it.
The hospital director would have a fit!
As for turning it into a drug, it’s quite simple.
Just dissolve a pill in water.
That’s it.
I, Zhou Mo Sen, will never share a sky with drugs!
Hmm?
Hold on.
Something suddenly occurred to Zhou Mo Sen.
What did Captain Hank say to him before?
Could it be...
Just as he was thinking, a call came in.
It was Chris.
Is this woman really that efficient?
...
San Diego City Center.
In that old apartment building.
The scene was now grander and more majestic.
And there were more people too.
Captain Hank was among the crowd.
He was wearing the same off-white robe as everyone else.
And was smiling along with everyone.
However, Captain Hank’s smile wasn’t easy.
He had to really force it.
Even so, his smile still looked worse than crying. Get full chapters from NoveI(F)ire.net
Fortunately, the brothers and sisters here wouldn’t mock him.
Everyone here wore a smile on their faces.
Including Owen, beside Captain Hank.
The two now called each other brothers.
In this group called the Health and Disease-Free Cult, they supported each other.
Yes, Captain Hank had infiltrated it.
But looking at his current state, it didn’t seem like he was acting?
Could it be he actually believed it?
At this moment, music started playing.
"Brothers and sisters."
The long-haired, bearded American guru appeared.
The crowd cheered, raising their hands high.
This person really didn’t look special.
He just had a particularly strange smile on his face.
It seemed like a smile but also not a smile.
As if he no longer cared about anything in this world.
Anyway, it was like that.
What does this guru intend to say today?
"An important guest is joining us as well!"
An important guest?
"Gentlemen! Ladies! Hello! I am Rex Paddy! Your most faithful friend!"
Oooooh!
A cheer erupted.
Though Captain Hank was cheering along.
Inside, he was quite surprised.
Because he knew who Paddy was.
He is a current city councilman of San Diego City.
Each US state has its own legislature, different from Congress.
The state legislature’s structure is roughly like this.
At the state level, there are only senators.
Which means state senators.
And how do you get senators?
Cities only have councilmen.
These city councilmen elect state senators.
So, senators represent cities.
And state senators, participate in state legislation.
The number of senators is directly related to a state’s population.
California has a large population, so California has 40 senators.
So why did Paddy come here...
"Brothers and sisters, please support Brother Paddy!"
Captain Hank immediately understood.
This city councilman is here to campaign!
...
Zhou Mo Sen had another busy day.
By evening, a patient came in.
"Dr. Zhou, if I help you, can you really help me?"
Bruce Jenner, this old guy seemed more and more effeminate.
