The pharmaceutical world has recently undergone tremendous changes
With the intensification of anti-corruption efforts, many corruption problems have been thoroughly exposed
Some take bribes and even own as many as 100 properties
Some people give birth to children out of wedlock, set up companies to engage in hospital projects and illegally seek hundreds of millions of benefits
Still others engage in direct sex trafficking
Medical representatives and sexual bribery have become almost a matter of close contact
According to industry insiders, many medical representatives have interests with senior leaders such as department directors and deans
In the early years, there was a drama "Gentle Lies" in the mainland, which told such a sexual bribery scandal
In the play, Enron, played by Sun Ya, became a medical representative because he was jealous of the luxurious life of his classmates
However, when she delved into the industry, she discovered that there were many shady rules hidden in this field
These rules are not unique to the continent
Recently, a new Netflix drama exposed a scandal in the pharmaceutical industry
It includes money, sex and fraud, and it's very bad
However, if we continue to explore all this, perhaps we can find other answers - OxyContin, a common painkiller in the United States
However, this little pill became the most notorious killer
According to preliminary statistics, at least 200,000 Americans have died because of the drug since 1997
It would have been a regulated opioid
But with the combined efforts of pharmaceutical companies, doctors and the government, it has become a painkiller with an "addiction rate of less than 1%"
The drama "Addictive Dose", which has a score of 9.4 on Douban, once focused on this incident, telling the story of a doctor who lost his mind after taking OxyContin and even became a poisonous insect looking for medicine
In contrast, "Painless Killer" complements the former
As the scandal revealed, the pharmaceutical company Purdue became the object of contempt
At the same time, it also revealed a group of important promoters behind it, known as the "OxyContinous Girl"
At the end of the 90s, they were a beautiful landscape in urban and rural America
Blonde, a smile and a Porsche are their norms
They shuttled from clinic to clinic, offering doctors OxyContin vouchers and doing jobs similar to those of medical representatives
The young girl Shannon is one of the rookie girls
At a job fair, she was attracted by the temperament of her predecessors and was also impressed by the effect of OxyContin
So she immediately joined the company and devoted herself to promoting this "miracle medicine"
Of course, the most attractive thing is money
Xia Nong's predecessors were very optimistic about her potential, often took her, lived her in his luxurious apartment, and showed her a cabinet of brand-name leather bags and high heels
The lure of money confused her
In this industry, rigid sales are not enough
After memorizing the drug message, she must unleash her sexy offensive
The sweet name overwhelmed the old experts
It is just as effective even for clinics that do not require painkillers
It's not enough to be coquettish and laugh
Girls must also have strong convictions
Shannon encountered setbacks when he first pitched alone
A paranoid village doctor was furious and accused OxyContin of being a controlled drug with ingredients indistinguishable from heroin
See Shannon as a depraved drug dealer
However, Xianon's predecessor used a metaphor to dispel her doubts
Just like forks and guns are metalwork, but for completely different purposes
Although OxyContin and heroin are similar ingredients, they should not be confused
After constant self-brainwashing, Shannon no longer doubts the justice of this cause
Her connection with the doctor has also grown
Following the advice of her seniors, she constantly urged doctors to increase the dose given to patients
Something that puzzled Shanon happened, but she didn't have time to think about it
One day, at the entrance of the clinic, she witnessed a strange scene
A 16-year-old girl limped out of the clinic and quickly ran towards the vehicle
Then she and her friend took out a box of OxyContin in the car
The two crushed the tablets in envelopes, scraped them into several strips with credit cards, and inhaled them forcefully into their noses
Soon after, they became delirious as if they were on drugs
Shannon realized that OxyContin was being abused
It is easily accessible even for young people
So, she recorded the matter truthfully in her work notes and prepared to report it to the company
However, the senior harshly criticized her after learning about it, accusing her of being nosy
Gradually, Shannon met more and more addicts
Most of them are in a lost state and cannot even feel pain
For example, the man in the restaurant, trying to bite the burger, but couldn't bite anyway
Before I knew it, the plate was dripping with blood
His fingers were stuck between his teeth and the burger, bitten to a bloody blur
These observations caused waves in Xia Nong's heart
But right now, she's more concerned about her sales performance
After entering the industry for half a year, she fell into a bottleneck period and was never able to achieve the high performance of her predecessors
This left her confused
Until a doctor solved the mystery for her
It turns out that the label "OxyContin, the girl" has long been associated with this unspoken rule
To sign a bigger order, you have to give your own flesh
