I, Doctor in the US

San Diego, early morning.

Fulton woke up from his sleep.

He realized that ever since he abandoned much of his past and angrily sued his former employer.

It seems every night he sleeps soundly.

Actually, the pressure is still great.

Fulton really has to face a lot of things.

Many media outlets directly question him.

"You used to be on Purdue Pharmaceutical's payroll!"

Yes, such questioning is even an interrogation, all putting great pressure on Fulton.

In the United States, anyone would be treated like this.

Because Fulton is actually suing his boss, and it's not even about labor disputes.

What Fulton is suing for would practically doom all his former employers!

At least, that's how it's seen outside.

And in the United States, many journalists have this ability.

That is, to start attacking people from the moral angle.

Of course, to an ordinary person, from a moral standpoint.

Fulton suing is no problem, even so, he's suing his former employer like this.

This is a show of high moral standards!

Isn't it?

Those bastards at Purdue Pharmaceutical marketed an opioid painkiller to children!

Moreover, many children have died.

Not just children, many Americans have also died because of this drug!

But, from the journalist's perspective?

Now the case hasn't yielded results, and those deceased, did they really die because of Oxycodone?

Yes, this is indeed a hard thing to ascertain.

Even if many took the medication and closed their eyes, died.

That still doesn't prove they died because of this drug.

Modern science is just like this.

So, are reporters attacking Fulton mainly because of this uncertainty?

NO!

Of course not, according to the principles of journalism, with so many deaths, even if unrelated to the drug, they would initially write that there's a connection.

And not attack the person initiating the lawsuit.

That's why the journalists are doing this, first picking on Fulton's faults, especially bizarrely attacking from a moral standpoint.

The reason is simple.

The media is almost completely controlled by a certain group.

And the Sackler Family from Purdue Pharmaceutical, they're that group!

These media reporters might still have a hint of humanity when they're studying.

But once they realize whose dogs they are, they care about nothing else.

Humanity? What humanity? What's sweeter than green tickets?

Basically, it's the same across All America.

Media, and media reporters, all lean toward oil.

Yet, under such attacks, Fulton can still sleep soundly.

This says a lot.

He now feels a clear conscience!

However, Fulton is also very aware.

In the United States, such kind of case as his is highly complex, involving pharmaceuticals.

The safety of this drug, whether harmful or not, at least in the United States requires a quite complex process to prove.

The entire lawsuit, frankly from the start, Fulton knew it would be incredibly difficult.

Attorney Oden's estimate is over 5 years.

Actually, 5 years is a rather conservative estimate; most of these cases taking over ten years is common.

Even if treating Oxycodone as a public hazard case.

The duration would likely be even longer.

There's an example.

In Japan.

That country experienced four major public hazard cases, each shocking the world.

Among them, the most famous is Minamata disease.

The critical point about this disease was its longevity.

The duration was extremely long.

Events from the 1960s continue unresolved even to this day.

Moreover, this event was marked by the presence of a famous American journalist.

He took a photo that shocked the world.

It's of an elderly woman bathing her daughter, and her daughter was twisted almost beyond recognition as a living human.

This photo is called "Wisdom Entering the Bath."

The photographer is globally renowned Eugene Smith; when he investigated this event, it was in the 1970s.

And this photo, when exposed back then, truly shocked the world.

So it accelerated the Japanese government's handling of Minamata disease.

But!

Even though it sped things up, it's still unresolved, and although there's talk of compensation, it seems like it was given by the Japanese government in the form of loans.

Anyway, that's how capitalist society works.

And that's just one of the four, there's also the rice bran oil incident.

This rice bran oil incident was called the most disgusting public hazard event.

Simply put, after consuming this toxic rice bran oil, a person would develop skin resembling that of a toad.

Let's skip the details; it's really disgusting.

For Fulton's current situation, he thinks even this case can be regarded as a public hazard case.

Preliminary investigation shows hundreds of thousands have died because of the drug.

Isn't that a public hazard?

Of course, some people still argue it might not all be due to the drug.

But those fellows simply...

Let's not bother with them, this time does indeed resemble a public hazard case.

Fulton is prepared for long-term perseverance.

As for how to persist, it can only be through donations.

Yes, with lawsuits lasting over a decade, no ordinary person can bear it.

Donations are the only way.

Moreover, Fulton can only continue collecting "evidence."

That means tracking those who died from the drug, their relatives, and many other things.

Anyhow, evidence is definitely preferred in abundance.

The more, perhaps it might attract the attention of America and the entire world.

Wouldn't that be similar to Minamata disease?

If only a renowned photographer or some group could turn it into a movie.

Well... Fulton feels that might be hard in the United States.

Because he has already learned that most of the media is controlled by that group.

No matter, must persist!

After eating and grooming, Fulton was ready for what comes next, but suddenly, he received a phone call.

"Oh, you have over a dozen people affected by this drug there..."

"Yes, please, help us..."

Another new piece of evidence.

No, actually many pieces of evidence.

Fulton felt he must go find those people, gather their information.

It definitely would be useful for future court proceedings.

He drove his car out, and shortly, a car followed him.

...

Downtown San Diego.

It's still daytime, in a less bustling neighborhood.

Fulton got off the car.

Actually, downtown San Diego is overall quite good.

There are many skyscrapers, also bustling spots.

However, such old neighborhoods also exist.

The United States is just like this, with many such old neighborhoods, and poor public safety.

Yet, Fulton couldn't care less, he got out of the car, heading to the address from the call.

Of course, this man was cautious, noticing a car following him.

He was winding through streets while driving previously.

Now, simply circling around again.

From one building to another, then circling back.

Wow, playing psychological games now.

And when he arrived at that address...

"Lady Meave, are you there?"

"Yes."

Finally met the person who could provide evidence, Lady Meave opened the door for him.

But after he entered...

"You guys!"

Fulton discovered several guns pointed at his head.

Lady Meave's expression changed, "Now, hand over everything you've collected, or else..."

There were about seven to eight people in the room, none easy to deal with.

Fulton initially wanted to act tough, but seems... will he die here?

Suddenly, a small object broke through the window!

What's this?

Everyone was puzzled, and suddenly the thing exploded, leaving them all dazed!
