Hồ Chí Minh City
In September I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $330, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $250 short. Doctors at Hồ Chí Minh City Regional Medical Center told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $330 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 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 $250 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Travel and lodging for the family: $10 Every share and every dollar helps. - Dương
