Jalandhar
Balaji was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Jalandhar Orthopedic Institute recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $350 short. my son has been in and out of Jalandhar Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Balaji struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 6 weeks. During that time Balaji won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $350 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $180 • Travel and lodging for the family: $45 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
