Dhanush's laparoscopic cyst removal can't wait - please help us cover the bill
After a cleft palate needing repair, Dhanush was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇮🇳 Vadodara, Gujarat, India668 views
In September I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Vadodara Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,850, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,100 short.
Doctors at Vadodara Community Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,850 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $1,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $330
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Physiotherapy sessions: $65
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
I hope life is good to you.

Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Port Harcourt.
