Gangnam
Hyun-jun was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in May. The surgeon at Gangnam University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,750, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $5,000 short. my husband has been in and out of Gangnam University Hospital since May. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Hyun-jun struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. 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 4 weeks. During that time Hyun-jun won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $5,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,900 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,900 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $210 • Post-operative medication: $230 • Physiotherapy sessions: $490 • Travel and lodging for the family: $270 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Bo-ra
