According to the previous agreement, Ivana's surgery was scheduled for the end of June. Australian doctors had leisurely lives. They did not work as hard as Chinese doctors.
In Australia, patients usually went to a clinic first. There were general practitioners in the clinic, and minor problems were solved by the general practitioners. If a major health problem was found, then they would refer the patient to a specialist.
There were two types of big hospitals, public and private. Public hospitals provided free treatment, but there were too many patients and limited resources. In order to save money, patients had to first go to public hospitals. This meant that there were many patients waiting because the doctors needed to rest.
On the other hand, private hospitals were fast, but they charged high fees unless patients had insurance. Otherwise, normal people could not afford to visit private hospitals.
