Pharmacies and college students are completely unrelated, but last night when I was walking past a pharmacy with my wife, I suddenly had an epiphany and vividly connected the two together.
There are three pharmacies near the community where I live, two of which are adjacent and closely packed together. I remember there was a rule that said pharmacies should be located no less than 300 or 500 meters away from another pharmacy, but these tightly opened pharmacies are enough to illustrate how much profit margin there is in opening a pharmacy.
The price of a box of drugs with the same name, dosage, and specification varies greatly depending on the manufacturer. Some only cost a few yuan, some cost a dozen yuan, and some even cost tens of yuan. Why is that? I can only rely on my own analysis, which may be the difference between regular large factories and private small factories, or the subtle difference in the content of a certain ingredient in the medicine. Although the difference in content is small and within the national standard range, the effects and side effects of the medicine will be different, although it may not be obvious in the short term for ordinary people. So, it resulted in a difference in price.
I remember once a leader of the National Medical Administration was disciplined for arbitrarily approving drug production batch numbers to some drug production enterprises that did not have production qualifications. Can drugs produced by companies that do not comply with regulations or standards be trusted? They rely on price wars to occupy the market and make profits.
I suddenly thought of college students. In the 1990s, college students lived up to their name and people would look at them with envy. At that time, college students were not only knowledgeable, but also cultured and had good qualities and cultivation. With the expansion of enrollment and the emergence of some private universities, college students are everywhere. It cannot be denied that the basic quality of college students is also declining. Nowadays, if someone claims to be a college student on a bus, people will definitely think that this person has a problem with his brain.
They are all reckoned college students, but their quality levels are far apart. As long as you pay the money, you can get a diploma and become a college student, especially for private universities, they are the beneficiaries of huge profits.
It is difficult to have good products without managing those production enterprises from the source. The issue of pharmacies and college students is actually a matter of healthcare and higher education.
药店与大学生，风马牛不相及，可昨晚与妻子散步走过一家药店时，我却突然间顿悟，把这两者很形象地联系在了一起。
小区附近有三家药店，有两家还是隔壁，紧紧靠在一起。我记得曾有规定，说是药店应开设在距离另一家药店不低于300或者500米的地方，可这紧密开设的药店足以说明了开药店有多大的利润空间。
同一个名字、同一种剂量、同一种规格的药品，只是生产厂家不同，而这盒药的价格就相差很大。有的只有几元钱、有的十几元钱、有的甚至几十元钱，为社么会这样呢？我只能靠我自己的分析，可能是正规大厂和民办小厂的区别，也可能是药剂中某种成分含量的细微差别，别看这种含量差别很小，也在国家标准范围之内，但药的作用和副作用就会不一样，尽管在一般人身上短期内体现的并不明显。所以，就造成了价格的不同。
记得曾经有一个国家医药管理局的领导受到了处分，原因是随意批复药品生产批号给一些并不具有生产资质的药品生产企业。企业不合规、不达标，这样的企业生产出来的药品能够让人放心吗？他们靠价格战来占领市场，来捞取利润。
我忽地想到了大学生，上世纪九十年代，大学生名副其实，人们会投以羡慕的眼神。那时的大学生不仅知识渊博，而且文质彬彬，具有良好的素质和修养。可随着扩招，随着一些民办高校的突起，大学生遍地都是，不可否认，大学生的基本素质也在下降。现在，如果有人在公交车上说自己是一名大学生，人们一定会以为这人脑子有问题。
同样是大学生，可他们的素质水平就相差太远了。只要交上钱，你就能拿到一纸文凭，成为一名大学生，尤其对民办高校来说，他们才是巨额利润的获得者。
不从源头上管理好那些生产企业，就很难有好的产品。药品和大学生问题，实际就是医疗和教育的问题。
