In August I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Limoges Orthopedic Institute recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,250, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $4,400 short. Doctors at Limoges Orthopedic Institute told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $4,400 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $460 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,950 • Physiotherapy sessions: $430 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $1,560 Thank you so much. - Fabrice

        Thank you. If you're in Limoges I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.

      you're not alone, Fabrice. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Campinas so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Limoges.
