The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 218

"The meeting is set for 10:00 a.m. at Stardust Hotel."

After giving her the address, the man ended the call. Rachel glanced at her phone and realized it was already 9:00 a.m. With only an hour left, she had to leave right away.

…

On the top floor of Stardust Hotel, Sheldon was in a private room, quietly sipping his coffee.

Robert Galloway, the secretary-general of the Pharmaceutical Association, walked up. "The strongest players in the medical industry are waiting in the private room, Mr. Smith. Why don't you have a word with them?"

Sheldon nodded and followed Robert into the private room next door. Everyone here was a wealthy businessman in the pharmaceutical industry of Lambda City.

He sported a smile and said, "Do you know the key difference between traditional medicine and modern medicine?"

Someone stood up and chimed in, "Modern medicine is all about science, whereas traditional medicine is just superstition."

A man with white hair stood up. "Traditional medicine is about to fade into history, while modern medicine is at its height. Almost the entire population chooses modern medicine."

Everyone had something to say, but most of the comments criticized traditional medicine and commended modern medicine.

When everyone quieted down, Sheldon stood up. "You're all wrong. I'll tell you the biggest difference. We're all in the pharmaceutical business, so let's skip the nonsense.

"Clearly, both traditional medicine and modern medicine are effective, and they both treat illnesses. But traditional medicine depends on the doctor. The key component is the doctor's diagnosis.

"In the course of treatment, the profit goes to the farmers growing the herbs and the traditional medicine practitioners, leaving no profit for others.

"On the other hand, modern medicine is built on statistical data and various drugs. Whether we invest in hospitals, build pharmaceutical factories, or run pharmacy chain stores, we'll profit no matter what.

"If we want to make serious money, we need to eliminate traditional medicine and build our wealth on modern medicine."

Everyone grinned and echoed his sentiment. "Your words are spot on, Mr. Smith. We'll do as you say."

Sheldon nodded. "Since that's the case, let's band together and eradicate traditional medicine in Lambda City."
