Fon's knee replacement surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
Fon needs knee replacement surgery at Bang Khen Regional Medical Center and the family is $900 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇹🇭 Bang Khen, Bangkok, Thailand748 views
In June I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Bang Khen Regional Medical Center recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $900 short.
Doctors at Bang Khen Regional Medical Center told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,800 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did.
Where the $900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $730
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
Every share and every dollar helps.
