Help me pay for emergency hernia repair at Saint Elizabeth Hospital

After a large ovarian cyst, Henryk was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In September I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,550, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $3,400 short. Doctors at Saint Elizabeth Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,550 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $3,400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,150 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,400 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $230 • Post-operative medication: $140 • Physiotherapy sessions: $290 • Travel and lodging for the family: $190 Every share and every dollar helps. - Henryk

    Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Ribeirão Preto this morning.

      Hang in there, Henryk. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

      • Keith B. Brewer

        Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 18 people at work. God bless

          Rooting for you, Henryk. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 18 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Pretoria
