Help me pay for a craniotomy at Tarragona University Hospital
Pablo needs a craniotomy at Tarragona University Hospital and the family is $3,700 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇪🇸 Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain3,783 views
In August I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Tarragona University Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,950, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $3,700 short.
Doctors at Tarragona University Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,950 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $270
• Post-operative medication: $110
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,100
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,220
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out. Wishing Pablo a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Take care. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Campinas.
Thinking of you, Pablo. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
Hope things get better soon, Pablo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Riverside this morning.
