Dylan's a craniotomy can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Dylan needs a craniotomy at Los Angeles University Hospital and the family is $5,250 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇺🇸 California, United States5,163 views
In February I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Los Angeles University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $10,500, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $5,250 short.
Doctors at Los Angeles University Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $10,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery 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.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,250 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,800
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,100
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $280
• Post-operative medication: $200
• Physiotherapy sessions: $590
• Travel and lodging for the family: $280
Glad we found this place.

Hope things get better soon, Dylan. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Dylan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Dylan. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Hang in there, Dylan. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Los Angeles
Thinking of you and your family, Dylan. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Los Angeles
Thinking of you and your family, Dylan. Shared this with my family. After 10 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope you get there. After 13 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Accra
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Rooting for you, Dylan. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Los Angeles
stay strong, Dylan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up.
wishing you the best, Dylan. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Uppsala.
