Divya's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

After a hip fracture that never healed properly, Divya was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In June I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at New Delhi General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,900, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $950 short. Doctors at New Delhi General Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,900 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. Recovery is expected to take about 5 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $690 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Physiotherapy sessions: $115 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Post-operative medication: $50 Thanks for being kind about this.
