I, Doctor in the US-Chapter 541 - 475: Is There Still Hope for the United States?_2
Actually, Zhou Mo Sen was very clear in his heart why he had to do this.
Many people certainly wouldn’t believe it.
That is, what the so-called ’addiction’ is all about.
There’s really an attempt at medical theory involved here.
However, in layman’s terms... it’s a mental addiction.
Right, many people must have heard this term before.
Mental addiction is hard to quit.
But, in the medical field, there’s actually a theory about this, rather than just a ’mental addiction’ saying.
Actually, it’s simple. That is, when humans experience pain, they secrete dopamine, endorphins, and other substances.
These things can actually temporarily alleviate our pain, or simply make us happy.
And when people use certain drugs, or things originally used as anesthetics,
it results in a consequence.
The human body itself, when it discovers external substances, stops secreting those dopamines, endorphins, and such.
This is similar to those drugs used for fitness.
It’s because there’s too much external testosterone, the body stops secreting its own.
Many fitness enthusiasts... who come to cosmetic clinics, aren’t they wanting to fix that place... right, someone is very good at that surgery.
And when it stops secreting, it leads to another effect.
When someone experiences small pains... like, a person’s hand naturally placed on the table as before.
As long as he places it a bit faster, then...
Yes, it would hurt! And this pain is completely different from before, it’s the kind that can’t be stopped.
The reason is that the body can no longer alleviate the feeling of pain, so it has to rely on external factors.
This is the so-called ’mental addiction’!
Once you understand this, you can immediately see why the countries in Europe and America have been engaging in decriminalization.
And you will instantly understand why these countries, especially the United States here,
have thousands of painkillers available for sale in supermarkets.
For example, Ms. Hong later took an ibuprofen when she was in France.
Afterward, she was quite proud, look at their medicine, how effective it is.
How useful, she felt fine after taking it.
But she was soon discovered that just that ibuprofen... one pill is roughly equivalent to at least ten of ours sold domestically!
Why are the countries in Europe and America doing this!
The reason is very simple.
Because these painkillers can also make people dependent!
They can also produce that ’mental addiction’ effect!
In fact, after living in Europe and America for a while, you will certainly understand.
People here may seem strong, but in reality, most of them are relying on ibuprofen.
For example, the classic London fashion.
It’s a down jacket on the upper body, shorts on the lower body.
London is a very cold and damp city.
We really don’t know what’s beautiful about dressing like this, but they just want to dress this way.
And the price is... taking medicine!
Ibuprofen... can’t stop!
The pharmaceutical companies want this result.
What happens after taking too many painkillers...
Perry from "Friends".
He’s really very successful, an absolute Hollywood star.
Many people may not know he even had a fling with Hollywood’s top actress, Julia Roberts.
Unfortunately, even with such a position, an incredibly wealthy person,
he still got played by the American pharmaceutical conglomerates.
The truths that were later revealed are simply appalling.
Frankly speaking, this America... is poisoned everywhere!
And now... the DEA Captain standing in front of Zhou Mo Sen.
He’s someone who’s already completely lost hope for the future of his country.
So...
"Maybe it would be better after it’s destroyed."
Hank said this sentence, and there was an unexpected smile on his fierce and rigid face.
If an average person saw this smile, they would most likely be scared to tears.
But Zhou Mo Sen laughed along with him.
"I’ll give you a shot, then listen for my news."
"OK!"
At this moment, the two of them shook hands.
They formed a strange alliance.
...
In 2009, almost all economic data indicated.
The American economy was robustly recovering.
Many Americans were either very happy or excited.
Those good days before the financial tsunami were back!
Of course, many people were also pessimistic.
After all, just from the policy perspective,
they were constantly opening the money spigot.
The money was really being given out very generously.
Of course, as for the United States Government, they publicly claimed to be rescuing businesses.
For instance, a big insurance company, AIG.
They received huge financial aid.
Just that now, it’s unknown, it won’t be long before the big boss of this insurance company goes to file a complaint.
Saying that at that time, this money was given by your United States Government with ill intentions!
These cases are not isolated.
...
Time flies quickly.
It was almost 2010.
The economy returned to stability, signaling recovery.
Everything was going well, but our Minister of Health appeared on television for an interview.
"Regarding the recent situation... is there anything you want to say?"
"And specifically, we still need further investigation and study."
"Minister of Health! Don’t you think you are shirking responsibility?"
"That’s an interesting question, but I’ll ask you back, do you know the responsibilities of our Ministry of Health? All kinds of related written reports, we have already submitted, and the emergency plan has already been initiated.
What I can do now is only these."
"Alright... please forgive my rudeness just now."
"No problem, I can completely understand.
Here, I also want to tell the national TV audience, recently you must pay close attention to personal hygiene protection.
I and the Ministry of Health have issued a notice, hoping everyone can wear masks, and when going to public places, pay attention to personal hygiene..."
This was an interview with a TV Station.
And the TV Station was the very powerful ABC.
This is a TV Station under Disney.
A national one.
And for such a TV Station to conduct a special interview with Zhou Mo Sen, and discuss the current swine flu epidemic.
It will definitely stir up a lot of discussions.
But!
"What? Wearing masks? That’s not possible!"
"What’s this guy talking about? Is he a doctor? Really despicable!"
"Anyway, wearing masks is not allowed here in New York, does this guy understand the law!"
"Wearing a mask can suppress the virus? Shit! That’s completely bullshit!"
"That’s right! There’s no evidence to prove wearing a mask can prevent infection!"
"Is this guy trying to sell masks? I won’t buy them!"
"Hey hey! Did you notice? Masks on Amazon have already increased in price a lot."
"Price went up? How much... ah? Tens of dollars each? This guy must be trying to sell masks to say this!"
Goodness, this discussion is just...
A lively interpretation of what is: Our Great America’s unique national condition!
In fact, Zhou Mo Sen wasn’t surprised by these reactions at all.
This is how it is.
This country is like this.
The issue of wearing masks isn’t even the first time.
Last time, Zhou Mo Sen even got sued over this matter.
But, truth be told, there’s not much he can really do.
Until the specific response bill passes, he can at most use the emergency act.
But the funds in this emergency act, they’re quite limited.
It’s like, why is it that American rescue teams can always pull out a cat or dog from the rubble?
There’s actually not much money, it’d be more cost-effective to use a cat or dog to handle things.
But nonetheless, Zhou Mo Sen has proposed the best solution, that’s all he can do.
I’m just a doctor, just a Minister of Health.
I’ve reminded what I needed to remind.
Beyond that, there’s nothing I can do.
As for other things... it’s not really related to me.
The swine flu epidemic in the United States has worsened.
Zhou Mo Sen also felt a sense of powerlessness.
However, after finishing the program,
he immediately received an invitation from someone.
The Governor’s Wife!
