Chapter 867: 866. Turtle Island (5/5)
Chapter 867 866. Turtle Island (55)
Originally, according to the previous agreement, Ivana's operation was scheduled for the end of June. The Australian doctors are living a good life, and they will not overwork like Chinese doctors.
Australians usually see a doctor like this. They go to the clinic first. There are general practitioners in the clinic. Small problems are solved by the general practitioner. If the general practitioner's treatment is ineffective, or if it is found to be a major problem, then go to a large hospital for treatment.
Large hospitals are divided into two types, public and private, with about the same number. Among them, public hospitals provide free treatment, but there are too many monks and few food, and resources are limited. In order to save money, patients must go to public hospitals first. In this way, there are many patients and doctors have to rest, and the road to see a doctor will naturally become long.
Private hospitals are fast, but the fees are high. Unless they have relevant insurance, most people look down on them.
In order to attract immigrants, Australia advocates their free medical care every day. In fact, how can the free medical care here be so simple?
The experts Ivana found were from public hospitals, and they also cost the same money, but the doctors couldn't expedite the treatment because they had other patients on hand.
As a result, after Elson came forward, the doctors were able to expedite the treatment for Ivana, and it was not just one expert they had appointed before, but a number of experts for joint consultation and joint surgery.
Several experts are more effective in the diagnosis and treatment of Ivana, because this is a major operation, which will be divided into three phases, first the plastic surgery and facial skin repair, and then the skin repair on the body.
This is the first phase of surgery, and the next two phases of surgery will be performed separately, once a year, with a long interval between them, because Ivana has to use the laboratory to cultivate skin that can be transplanted.
The one million that Brother Wolf prepared at the beginning was mainly for laboratory expenses. It is very complicated to cultivate skin, and only a few countries have the conditions to complete it.
The first phase of the operation lasted for two days. After Ivana's operation, she needed to take a lot of medicine and apply a lot of ointment. Even an adult like Li Du felt guilty.
Brother Wolf and Ivana thought it was nothing. He said, "After the incident happened, I sent Ivana to the ICU for first aid. That's when I suffered."
Li Du said angrily: "These bastards really deserve to go to hell. If we have a chance to meet them, we must send them to hell!"
Brother Wolf fell silent. After Ivana was taken away by Sophie, he said coldly, "I have already sent them down. I believe that if they are conscious, they will never want to be human again."
Although Sophie is not an expert doctor in dermatology, she is an excellent surgeon after all and can help Ivana take care of her.
In this way, they have to go back to the United States again. The United States does not have the world's first-class dermatologists, but there are first-class nursing centers.
But before that, Ivana had to stay in Sydney for at least half a month. During this time, she was finishing the first phase of the operation, and at the same time observed the rejection reaction, the curative effect of the operation, and the response to the use of drugs.
Brother Wolf and Sophie stayed here with Ivana, and it was useless for Li Du to stay in Sydney. He planned to go to Tasmania with Tony to help prepare some materials for buying islands and send his own The materials are ready to be handed over to the two.
He told Steve about his plan, and thanked him and Elson for their help during Ivana's treatment. They really helped him a lot!
Steve said relaxedly: "You're welcome, who made us friends? But are you going to leave Sydney?"
Li Du said: "Yes."
Steve said: "I'm also planning to go back to Boston, how about this, take you to my Turtle Island in the next two days to have a look, my small island is not bad, and there are vineyards on it."
Li Du really wanted to visit the island he bought, and there was always something that could help him buy Shagull Island.
Turtle Island is not far from the world-famous Great Barrier Reef. Unlike Gull Island, it does not go deep into the ocean, but is located next to the coast, very close to the port city of Gladstone.
Living close to the city makes life more convenient. After all, stocking up on daily necessities is always stale, so it’s better to buy them now.
Li Du, Hans, Da Ao and others took Steve's helicopter and flew over. His helicopter was faster and more comfortable than Mi-8.
Turtle Island belongs to the state of Queensland. This state is adjacent to the South Pacific Ocean. It has a year-round warm climate, abundant sunshine and flat terrain. The products are rich and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
When the helicopter landed, Li Du looked down from the air, first seeing the port city of Gladstone.
The city's stylized Art Deco buildings in the color of ice cream lend a layer of romance to local residents.
There are many classic cars in Gladstone. It is a local tourism project to take a classic car to wander between the shops in the city and the vineyards in the suburbs.
"There are more than 100 large and small wineries in the suburbs of this city and the adjacent islands. When you come to my island later, you can see a small winery." Steve said.
Li Du smiled and said, "Your island is less than ten hectares in total, and there are wineries on it?"
Steve shrugged and said, "If there is no winery, why would I buy an island?"
Hearing this, Li Du's heart moved. There are also many grape vines on Shaou Island, and the grapes produced taste great. Maybe he can build a winery after buying the island.
Gladstone's local grape growing and winemaking history can be traced back to more than 160 years ago, because it has a weakly alkaline soil containing minerals, coupled with the sunny and less rainfall environment of the South Pacific, which constitutes a distinctive Mediterranean The climate is ideal for growing grapes.
The helicopter stopped briefly over the city, then continued to fly east, Steve pointed down, and Turtle Island appeared in their field of vision.
This is a very small island, only about one or two kilometers away from the coastline.
It was afternoon, and the sun was shining and gentle, shining on the sea and the islands, adding a touch of softness to the island and the surrounding ocean.
The terrain of the island is uneven, and there is a small hill that is not steep.
A large area of vineyards is built on this hillside. Autumn is the harvest season for grapes. Rows of neatly planted grapes go up the hillside, occupying the entire hillside.
Looking back, a house with a strong Mediterranean flavor that is different from the local farmhouses is located at the highest point, and that is Steve's house.
There was a helipad on the island, and the helicopter landed smoothly. Steve waved and led them along the hillside to the house.
The house is quite large, with a swimming pool and sports field below, as well as a winery.
The winery is white as a whole, and the bright sunlight shines on the house, making it look a little dazzling.
The house has been around for some years, and the outer walls are covered with creepers. Because of the season, the leaves of the creepers have turned crimson red. Similarly, the red is dazzling!
