Manee was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in February. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,700, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,850 short. my wife has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since February. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,700 is more than we can find. While we wait, Manee struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Manee won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,850 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,000 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $490 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $190 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Nikom
