"Hello, Boss Lady." Doctor Zhang said, "Do you have the medicine I mentioned last time?"
"Yes, yes, yes, we have ten boxes of imported Amoxicillin, all reserved for you, Doctor Zhang."
In those days, there was a significant gap between domestic and imported medicine. The efficacy of many antibiotics fell far short when compared to foreign ones. Thus, knowledgeable people in the hospital, who had the need, would try every means to buy the imported drugs because even the hospitals couldn't get them.
It wasn't certain you could get good medicine even if you had the money.
Ten boxes of Amoxicillin were placed on the counter by the Boss Lady, and it was unclear what Doctor Zhang needed so much for.
"Doctor Zhang, about my friend's surgery, he said he would like you to administer the anesthesia," the Boss Lady said in a low voice as she handed over the medicine.
