After lunch with Hella, William chatted with her for a while. Then he got up and nodded to Hella, and quickly returned to Oxford castle.
Two months later, after the second operation, strange had only three days of physical recovery after the wound healed. He knew that the operation had not achieved the desired results.
And he himself is also very clear, with the number of operations, no matter how skilled the surgeon, there will always be some unavoidable side effects.
Just like your skin is cut a hole, scar recovery again perfect, must not reach the original skin effect.
Not to mention the injury of his hands, it is a neurological problem. The second operation can reduce the shaking by several times. In fact, it can be said that it is successful.
But what he wants is not to live a normal life, but to be able to stand on the operating table again.
Late at night in November in New York, it was drizzling. Strange stood in the duplex house he bought on Fifth Avenue, looking at the night view of New York outside the building.
For a long time, I have been thinking about it for a week. I also discussed with several neurosurgeons of the same authority whether the third operation is necessary or not. Stranch sighed helplessly.
Now, even if he wants to sell the house, which is worth more than 10 million dollars, no authoritative doctor is willing to risk a third operation for him.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong", a series of doorbell rings, lazy to move, not in the mood to pay attention to other people's strange, not long to hear the key to open the door.
You don't have to think it's Christine Palmer.
Looking back, Christine put the umbrella on the shelf beside the shoe cabinet, holding a tablet computer, and walked quickly with a happy face,
"I just received a reply from Devonshire group, they suggested that we buy a ticket to Mars.".
"What is it?" What do they want to do? Use a $10 million trip to Mars as a treatment ticket? "
"No, no, no," Christine said with a smile, shaking her head, squatting beside strange and a smile, "I thought the same thing about you at first.
But after three times of asking, I didn't get their explanation, and I didn't think it was that simple.
With that, Christine pointed several times on the tablet, called out a form and said happily,
"remember the medical record report that your assistant sent you before your accident?"
As soon as stranch heard this, his face became gloomy, but he also understood that Christine could not be exposing his scar. He listened to Christine in silence and said,
"the patient who was rejected by you more than four months ago was not paralyzed, but also appeared on TV.".
"It's impossible," said strange, staring excitedly at Christine, then stunned by the tablet in front of him.
A New York rich businessman named Mollo was shown on the tablet, attending a celebration of the first voyage of a cruise ship.
Looking at the smiling Molo, standing on the dock to accept the reporter's interview, strange has a clear understanding in his heart.
Then Christine continued happily, "seeing that Molo can stand up, I went to a dozen major hospitals in New York this afternoon, or experts in various medical fields, to get some patient information they refused.
There are two people like Molo who have one thing in common. They all have business relations with Devonshire group. ".
With that, Christine shook his head. "Another thing is that they are all rich people.".
Strange knew that Christine had taken a great risk, even if someone disclosed that she had obtained the patient's information privately, she would not be a doctor.
Grateful at the same time, strange said, "and then spent 10 million dollars to buy a ticket to Mars, right?"
"That's right." as soon as Christine, who was squatting with some sore legs, stood up, he saw that strange stood up with her, pressed her, sat on the sofa, but walked to the floor glass and looked at New York on a rainy night.
After a long time, seeing that strange didn't speak, Christine whispered, "although it's a gamble to sell this house and go to Mars, combined with the large-scale automatic healing instrument on Mars, everyone can understand who cured those rich people.".
"Needless to say," strange interrupted Christine with a sigh. "I don't doubt your judgment just now, but I'm worried about why Devonshire group would agree to your qualification for me.".
"It's not so hard to guess," Christine said helplessly. "You can afford 10 million dollars, and you're a top authority on nerves.
Accepting you will not only improve their technical reserve in Neuromedicine, but also your years of surgical experience can help them improve the success rate or accuracy rate of the machine.
As for the second point, "Christine said, I don't know how to say it again.
And strange knows that if Christine doesn't say anything, it's just that once he, a top neurologist, has to rely on a machine to recover his hands, then the well-informed rich people all over the world will not go to see a doctor in the future.After all, the cost of many diseases is no less than 10 million US dollars. Even some diseases can't be cured if you want to spend money.
It's even easier for the U.S. witness to help Devonshire group once, and then they can enter Mars secretly. After all, the spacecraft belongs to Devonshire group. Who can know who is on board?
As for time, what's the problem with taking a week off?
Although strange would like to accept Christine's advice now, his purpose of treating his hands is to return to the operating table where he is best at and can make him feel successful.
If your hands are cured, but you can't stand by the operating table again, what's the difference with now?
After listening to strange's words, Christine was stunned, then followed by silence.
After a while, strange said with a smile, "don't worry too much. Since I'm useful to Devonshire, they won't mind waiting for me for a while.
Let's look at the effect of postoperative physical therapy first. If the effect is good, even if I can't be the chief surgeon, I can still be a consultant or assistant,
and save 10 million US dollars, "strange said with self mockery." according to my current situation, this house is probably the only property I can hold in the future. ".
Christine nodded, and then whispered, "but the property tax,,".
"Alas," strange rubbed his cheek helplessly.
The tax rate of a small family house in New York is about 1.2% of the total value, while the tax rate of a 10 million yuan duplex house is 6%, which costs 600000 US dollars a year.
The 600000 yuan was the business of several surgeries in the past, but once he could not be the chief surgeon, it would be good to have 600000 yuan a year.
Of course, if you put down your face and become a consultant to an authoritative doctor he didn't look up to before, you can still get a million dollars a year.
With an income of $1.6 million, no fool would spend two fifths of his income on property taxes, even if he didn't have to pay personal taxes.
He can't be the master again. He has to sell the house if he doesn't sell it.
