Jin-woo was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Suwon Orthopedic Institute recommended gallbladder removal, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $3,300 short.
my father has been in and out of Suwon Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without gallbladder removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jin-woo 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Jin-woo 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 $3,300 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $280
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,600
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $250
• Travel and lodging for the family: $170
With deep gratitude,
