Help İsmail pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Antalya Community Hospital
İsmail needs a partial thyroidectomy at Antalya Community Hospital and the family is $1,700 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇹🇷 Antalya, Türkiye477 views
İsmail was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in October. The surgeon at Antalya Community Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,150, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $1,700 short.
my son has been in and out of Antalya Community Hospital since October. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, İsmail struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 5 weeks. During that time İsmail won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $700
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $570
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $170
• Post-operative medication: $65
• Physiotherapy sessions: $160
• Travel and lodging for the family: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
