Help me pay for hip replacement surgery at Dhaka Regional Medical Center
Shakil needs hip replacement surgery at Dhaka Regional Medical Center and the family is $500 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh632 views
In May I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Dhaka Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $670, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $500 short.
Doctors at Dhaka Regional Medical Center told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a school bus driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $670 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a school bus driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $500 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410
• Travel and lodging for the family: $20
• Post-operative medication: $40
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $30
