Help me pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Saint Elizabeth Hospital
A scheduled a partial thyroidectomy in October is out of reach without help covering $5,700 of the cost.
🇯🇵 Japan1,796 views
In July I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Saint Elizabeth 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 $9,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $5,700 short.
Doctors at Saint Elizabeth Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $9,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 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.
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 $5,700 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,750
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,450
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $440
• Post-operative medication: $330
• Physiotherapy sessions: $430
• Travel and lodging for the family: $300
Every share and every dollar helps.
