Help me pay for a craniotomy at Mumbai Regional Medical Center
After a deviated septum causing chronic infections, Usha was cleared for a craniotomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India849 views
In August I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Mumbai Regional Medical Center recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,350, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $950 short.
Doctors at Mumbai Regional Medical Center told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,350 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent 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 drive 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 $950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $320
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $90
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $60
• Travel and lodging for the family: $45
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Sukkur donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Mumbai!

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Tema.
shared this with my family. After 12 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
