ACL reconstruction for Hüseyin: covering what insurance won't

In July I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Çankaya General Hospital recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,050, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,650 short. Doctors at Çankaya General Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,050 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,650 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $145 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $670 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $710 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Hüseyin
