Saint-Denis
In August I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Saint-Denis General Hospital 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 $9,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $4,850 short. Doctors at Saint-Denis General Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $9,750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $4,850 goes: • Post-operative medication: $165 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,850 • Travel and lodging for the family: $115 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,720 With deep gratitude, Inès
