Warangal

Rahul was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in June. The surgeon at Warangal General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $870, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $650 short. my brother has been in and out of Warangal General Hospital since June. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $870 is more than we can find. While we wait, Rahul struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Rahul won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $650 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $465 Thank you for reading my story.
