Help me pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Bangkok Orthopedic Institute

In August I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Bangkok Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,450, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,100 short. Doctors at Bangkok Orthopedic Institute told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,450 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $1,100 goes: • Post-operative medication: $40 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $830 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $110 • Physiotherapy sessions: $120 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Malee
