Miami
Bình was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in May. The surgeon at Miami General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $5,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $4,000 short. my husband has been in and out of Miami General Hospital since May. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $5,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Bình struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Bình won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $4,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,800 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $290 • Physiotherapy sessions: $910 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Bình?

        • My DinhOwnerAnswer

          Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about surgeon and anesthesia fees, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.

          Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bình.

          • My DinhOwnerAnswer

            Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. surgeon and anesthesia fees comes first ($2,800) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.

        • Praying for you, My. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

          • Thinking of you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Ann Arbor.

            • Take care. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Rabat.
