Dae-hyun's gallbladder removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Dae-hyun needs gallbladder removal at Daegu University Hospital and the family is $4,150 short of the hospital's estimate.

In May I was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery. My surgeon at Daegu University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $4,150 short. Doctors at Daegu University Hospital told me endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $4,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,150 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,000 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $270 • Post-operative medication: $210 • Physiotherapy sessions: $280 • Travel and lodging for the family: $240 Glad we found this place.

        Thinking of you, Dae-hyun. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
