Help me pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Birmingham Regional Medical Center
A scheduled a partial thyroidectomy in October is out of reach without help covering $5,550 of the cost.

In July I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Birmingham Regional Medical Center 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 $7,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $5,550 short.
Doctors at Birmingham Regional Medical Center told me a hernia that has become strangulated 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 $7,000 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 10 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 $5,550 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $420
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,850
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,300
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $460
• Physiotherapy sessions: $520
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Ikeja.
Hope things get better soon, Easton. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
