      For example, it was previously reported by the media that a doctor from Shangshui County People’s Hospital in Henan Province took advantage of his position to prescribe 35,962 boxes of "Buchang" Naoxintong Capsules in 3 years, and illegally accepted drugs from sales clerk of Shaanxi Buchang Pharmaceutical Co.
