Gallbladder removal for Adnan: covering what insurance won't

After a benign brain tumor, Adnan was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Adnan was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in August. The surgeon at Faisalabad Regional Medical Center recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,050 short. my son has been in and out of Faisalabad Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Adnan struggles with daily life and can't drive. 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 10 weeks. During that time Adnan won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. 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 $1,050 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $470 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Travel and lodging for the family: $15 Glad we found this place.
