Poitiers
In April I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Poitiers General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $9,500, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $6,700 short. Doctors at Poitiers General Hospital told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a security guard, 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 security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $6,700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,650 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,950 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $310 • Post-operative medication: $175 • Physiotherapy sessions: $320 • Travel and lodging for the family: $295 Glad we found this place. - Zoé
