I, Doctor in the US

Chapter 96: Charity This Is How It's Used


The mass shooting in San Diego.

It influenced many people.

For some, it was a bad influence.

For others, it was a positive influence.

Fulton's boss was negatively impacted.

Because of the Health Sect's exposure, although a congressman made a point.

This sect has no problems, it's legal after all.

But, it was exposed after all.

Many people started noticing this drug.

Oxycodone.

Although a drug in the United States must definitely be advertised.

Otherwise, don't even think about selling well.

Advertising increases exposure, letting more people notice a medication.

But right now, this attention may not be a good thing.

So, Fulton's boss was fired.

The sales manager of Purdue Company overseeing Los Angeles County made this decision.

And Fulton's boss was actually the sales supervisor for San Diego City.

So, who would take charge of sales in San Diego City?

California is really a big state, it's significant in the United States, and it's among the top in the world economically.

Los Angeles County is not small, including over forty large and small cities like Los Angeles and San Diego.

But, San Diego is really important.

Someone must preside over the situation.

Fulton is that person.

That's right, this black pharmaceutical representative finally got promoted.

He is ecstatic.

Extremely happy.

And after taking office?

Fulton directly went to San Diego Center Hospital and found someone.

"Dean Carlos, long time no see."

"Oh, Mr. Fulton, I heard you've been promoted."

Carlos is still a deputy dean, but being addressed as dean, of course, makes him happy.

See, didn't people praise him a bit?

Fulton is an old pharmaceutical representative and understands doctors' mindsets very well.

With this, their relationship got closer.

A pharmaceutical representative who just became the supervisor for Purdue Company in San Diego, and a doctor who has ambitions for the dean position.

They quickly hit it off.

Following this, naturally, the most crucial business content came up.

"Oxycodone is currently being scrutinized; this drug has become very sensitive. Mr. Fulton, you've just taken office, and I believe you have enough ambition, but..."

Carlos pursed his lips hard, a gesture that usually means: helplessness.

But, as an old pharmaceutical representative.

Fulton knows this gesture quite well.

Actually, doing this business highlights one thing: persistence.

Put another way, shamelessness, persistence, harassment.

If, concerning this drug, Oxycodone, Dean Carlos really didn't want to talk about it.

Then it wouldn't be discussed.

It wouldn't be talked about until now.

Fulton knows very well; now is the time to give 'benefits.'

"Dean Carlos, I know your hospital has gone through the last incident, and many doctors are very tired.

You worked hard.

Here, on behalf of Purdue Company, I extend an invitation to your hospital.

We welcome you to our golf club in Palm Springs."

There's something, something very important.

Starting by saying many doctors, later directly addressing Carlos only.

If translated into Northeast dialect, it roughly means:

Come on, come on, good things await when you come.

It definitely won't be so simple, what is in that golf club, perhaps only Fulton and Carlos know.

Is it luscious green US Dollars?

Or stunning beauties?

The key is, how will Dean Carlos react to Fulton's invitation?

"Mr. Fulton, I do like golf, but you must understand the critical issue now."

This... Carlos doesn't like it?

No!

Fulton then smiled even more warmly, knowing Dean Carlos intended to give a hint.

Often at this stage, even the worst result can lead to the deal being settled.

And for a good result... let's hear Dean Carlos's input.

Carlos saw Fulton not speaking, just intently listening.

Very satisfied.

This black man understood human relations better than the previous supervisor.

Carlos began, "I just said, Oxycodone is quite sensitive now, so you should address this issue first.

As for how to resolve it... I believe you have your methods.

But, I can also offer a solution, that is, do charity."

Charity?

Fulton yet hadn't understood, so he wanted to listen more.

Carlos continued, "Very simple, your Purdue Company should do charity, release the drug for charity.

Donate the drug to those who need it, such as impoverished groups who can't afford it.

Specifically, think of places like Tijuana in the south.

This Mexican city has a large number of poor people, lacking medical care and drugs.

Donating to these people, it is surely a good deed.

Wouldn't the reputation improve?"

Fulton listened.

Listened and was deeply shocked!

The plan Carlos proposed, in Fulton's ears, can be summarized as:

Carlos wants money!

But, how can we commit bribery in the United States?

How can there be corruption in the United States?

Impossible! This is illegal, absolutely can't be done!

Can't give money.

But Carlos wants money.

Fool, give it another way!

The method Carlos proposed is crystal clear.

So-called donation to Tijuana's poor, is this called a donation?

Do those people lack this type of drug?

Isn't this a guise for giving money?

Once Oxycodone reaches Tijuana, what else needs to be said?

Crush it into powder, it can be sold as a drug.

Straightforward; quickly it can be converted into cash.

Then this money... Fulton doesn't need to worry.

This is not illegal, not bribery, nor corruption.

It's actually just Purdue Company's regular practice.

That is, invite these renowned doctors to their prepared locations for vacations or entertainment, and some special 'projects.'

These have already been criticized by many.

Saying they define it as bribery.

Only, there's no proof.

But now, the way Carlos explained this method... perfect!

Completely can shut the gossips.

Everything is legal.

Maybe even a tax reduction.

And earn some reputation.

As to whether anyone cares those poor people don't need this drug?

Just tell them we donated and that'll do.

Then what?

Dean Carlos was very straightforward too.

"As long as the reputation of Oxycodone improves, our hospital can use this drug without any concern."

The key in this sentence is 'without concern.'

Fulton understood instantly and immediately declared, "I will surely convince the senior management!"

This procedure still has to be followed, but in Fulton's view.

There's no reason for the upper management to block this plan.

After all, if the reputation improves, everyone benefits.

Moreover, isn't it just donating some medication, a few tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of pills?

The cost isn't much at all.

The business deal was made?

Carlos added, "You have to speed up, or else..."

Fulton expressed understanding.

Actually, Carlos was considering Paddy.

This old fellow needs money for the election, February is approaching.

After the two chatted, they walked out of The Office.

Unexpectedly, they encountered someone.

"Dr. Zhou."

"Oh, Dr. Carlos."

Zhou Mo Sen, he was here following the TV Station to film a program again.

And Fulton also knew Zhou Mo Sen, hurriedly greeted him.

The three of them...

"Turns out we're all acquaintances." Zhou Mo Sen remarked.

Since they were so familiar, Zhou Mo Sen even shook hands with Carlos.

This scene was extremely amusing.

The most amusing part was, they themselves didn't realize how amusing this scene was.
