According to the previous agreement, Ivana's surgery was scheduled for the end of June. Australian doctors had a good life, and they did not overwork like Chinese doctors.
Australians generally went to the clinic first, where there was a general practitioner. Minor problems were solved by the general practitioner. If the general practitioner's treatment did not work, or if it was a major problem, they went to a big hospital.
There were two kinds of big hospitals, public and private, and the number was about the same. Public hospitals were free of charge, but there were too many patients and limited resources. In order to save money, patients had to go to public hospitals first, so there were many patients, doctors had to rest, and the road to see a doctor would naturally become long.
Private hospitals were fast, but the fees were high, and unless there was relevant insurance, most people would look down on them.
In order to attract immigrants, Australia trumpeted their free medical care every day. In fact, free medical care here was not that simple.
The experts Ivana found were from public hospitals, and they also spent money, but the doctors could not rush it because they had other patients on hand.
As a result, after Elson came forward, the doctors could rush Ivana's treatment, and it was not just one expert they had previously arranged, but many experts, joint consultation, and joint surgery.
Many experts were more effective in Ivana's treatment, because it was a major surgery, divided into three stages, first plastic surgery and facial skin repair, and then skin repair.
This was the first stage of the surgery, and the next two stages would be done separately, once a year, with a long interval between them, because Ivana had to grow skin for transplantation through the laboratory.
The one million Brother Wolf had initially prepared was mainly for the cost of the laboratory. It was complicated to grow skin, and only a few countries had the conditions to do it.
The first stage of the surgery lasted two days. After Ivana's surgery, she needed to take a lot of medicine and apply a lot of ointment, which made Li Du, an adult, feel painful.
Brother Wolf and Ivana did not think much of it. He said, "When it happened, I sent Ivana to the ICU for emergency treatment. That was torture."
Li Du said angrily, "These bastards should go to hell. If we have a chance to meet them, we must send them to hell!"
Brother Wolf was silent, and when Ivana was taken away by Sophie, he said coldly, "I have sent them down. I believe if they are conscious, they will never want to be human again."
Although Sophie was not an expert in dermatology, she was an excellent surgeon and could help with Ivana's care.
In this way, they would have to return to the United States again. The United States did not have the world's top dermatologists, but it did have the top care centers.
However, before that, Ivana had to stay in Sydney for at least half a month. During this period of time, she would be finishing up the first stage of the surgery, and at the same time, she would be observing the rejection reaction, the surgical effect, and her reaction to medication.
Brother Wolf and Sophie stayed behind to take care of Ivana. There was no point for Li Du to continue staying in Sydney. He was going to Tasmania with Tony to help prepare some information for the purchase of the island and to prepare his own information for the two of them.
He told Steve about his plan and thanked him and Elson for their help in Ivana's treatment. The two of them had helped him a lot!
Steve said lightly, "You're welcome. We're friends, after all. But are you going to leave Sydney? "
Li Du said, "Yes."
Steve said, "I'm also preparing to go back to Boston. How about I take you to my Turtle Island in the next two days? My island is not bad. There are vineyards on it."
Li Du really wanted to see the island he had bought. There must be some aspects that could help him buy Seagull Island.
Turtle Island was not far from the world-famous Great Barrier Reef. Unlike Seagull Island, it was not deep in the ocean, but on the coast, very close to the port city of Gladstone.
Life was more convenient when it was close to the city. After all, it was better to buy fresh supplies.
Li Du, Hans, Big Quinn, and the others flew in Steve's helicopter. His helicopter was faster and more comfortable than the Mi-8.
Turtle Island was part of Queensland, a state bordering the South Pacific Ocean. It had a warm climate all year round, plenty of sunshine, flat terrain, rich resources, and people lived and worked in peace.
When the helicopter landed, Li Du looked down from the air and saw the port city of Gladstone first.
The city had a unique style of art deco architecture, which was the color of ice cream, which gave the local residents a layer of romance.
There were many classic cars in Gladstone. Cruising between the shops of the city and the vineyards in the suburbs was a local tourist attraction.
"There are more than 100 wineries, large and small, on the outskirts of this city and the nearby islands. When you get to my island, you will see a small winery," Steve said.
Li Du laughed. "Your island is less than ten hectares in total. Is there a winery on it?"
Steve shrugged and said, "If there was no winery, why would I buy an island?"
Hearing this, Li Du's heart skipped a beat. There were many grape trees on Seagull Island, and the grapes they produced were delicious. Maybe he could also build a winery when he bought the island.
The history of grape cultivation and winemaking in Gladstone could be traced back to more than 160 years ago. The mineral-rich soil here, coupled with the abundant sunshine and low rainfall in the South Pacific, formed a unique Mediterranean climate that was very suitable for growing grapes.
The helicopter stopped briefly over the city and then continued to fly east. Steve pointed down and Turtle Island appeared in their view.
It was a very small island, about a kilometer or two from the coastline.
It was afternoon, and the sun was bright and gentle, shining on the sea and the island, adding a touch of gentleness to the island and the surrounding ocean.
The terrain of the island was not flat, and there was a small hill that was not steep.
A large vineyard was built on this hillside. Autumn was the grape harvest season, and rows of grapes were planted neatly along the hill, occupying the whole hillside.
Looking back, a house with a strong Mediterranean flavor, different from the local farmhouses, was located at the highest point. That was 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 was quite large, with a swimming pool and sports field below, and a winery.
The winery was white, and the bright sun shone on the house, making it look a little dazzling.
The house was a little old, and the outer walls were covered with creepers. Because of the season, the leaves of the creepers had turned red, and the red was dazzling!
