Help me pay for gallbladder removal at Munich General Hospital
After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Daniel was cleared for gallbladder removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In September I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Munich General Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $4,150, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $3,100 short.
Doctors at Munich General Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $4,150 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.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 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 $3,100 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $230
• Post-operative medication: $230
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,640

Good news. Because of your gifts ($127 in total) I made the first payment toward hospital stay. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
