Gallbladder removal for Zubair: covering what insurance won't

After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Zubair was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In July I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Multan University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $900 short. Doctors at Multan University Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,150 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $35 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $290 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $545 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    Wishing you the best, Zubair. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • Kwabena Kelvin Danso
