Heliopolis
Faisal was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in July. The surgeon at Heliopolis Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $930, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $650 short. my son has been in and out of Heliopolis Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $930 is more than we can find. While we wait, Faisal struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Faisal won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $390 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 I hope life is good to you.
