Gallbladder removal for Savannah: covering what insurance won't

After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Savannah was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Savannah was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in May. The surgeon at Belfast General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $6,900 short. my wife has been in and out of Belfast General Hospital since May. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Savannah struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Savannah won't be able to work a full shift, 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 $6,900 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $420 • Physiotherapy sessions: $550 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,700 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,950 • Post-operative medication: $280 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Beau
