The life-saving medicine is only 290 yuan, and the doctor's benevolence is simple and precious

□ Wang Huili (Zhengzhou University)

Wang Zhenyi, a well-known hematologist, changed the therapy of "damaging normal cells when killing tumor cells", guided tumor cells to "abandon evil and return to righteousness", and made acute promyelocytic leukemia the first tumor that could be cured. In order to save more people, he gave up applying for a patent, a box of drugs is only 290 yuan, and has been included in medical insurance. He said: "I just want the patient to be well.

As soon as this news was released, the majority of netizens commented on "the great doctor is sincere, the doctor is benevolent", "the benevolent person loves people", "the merit is immeasurable" and so on. It is true that what expert Wang Zhenyi has done is indeed a great merit and contribution to the mainland and even the world. Because he found a way to cure acute promyelocytic leukemia, and at the beginning of the study, he decided not to apply for a patent, and opened it to the international market and included in mainland medical insurance, so this life-saving drug has only sold for 290 yuan so far.

Wang Zhenyi said: "First of all, we must solve the problem of patients, we cannot first solve the problem of making money or improving our reputation, I don't want this problem, I just want patients to be good." "The healer's benevolence is well deserved. At the beginning of the study, Wang Zhenyi experts took this as the original intention and mission, and such a precious and simple initial intention is the most rare.

Several people unfortunately develop tumors every year, and perhaps the most painful thing is not that they have tumors, but that they are powerless in the face of high medical costs. For ordinary families, high medical bills often bring despair. Not long ago, the "soul bargaining" represented by the Medical Insurance Bureau brought countless people to tears, which shows how important it is for ordinary families to incorporate life-saving drugs into medical insurance. And the medicine for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia has become an affordable life-saving medicine, and Wang Zhenyi deserves to be thanked and remembered.

Wang Zhenyi is 98 years old this year, still working in the front line of clinical research, and behind the huge achievements is the hard work of years and months. In today's impetuous society, there are always some people who contribute to society in obscurity, and their ideal pursuit is of course beneficial to the country and the people, and the supreme and lofty, and the original intention of Elder Wang is very precious.
