In August I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Vadodara Community Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,550, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,100 short. Doctors at Vadodara Community Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,550 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 8 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: • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $400 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
