Zagazig
In May I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Zagazig Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $750, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $600 short. Doctors at Zagazig Regional Medical Center told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 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. 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 $600 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380 • Post-operative medication: $70 • Physiotherapy sessions: $100 Thanks for being kind about this.
