Help me pay for hip replacement surgery at Madrid University Hospital
Antonio needs hip replacement surgery at Madrid University Hospital and the family is $2,800 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Madrid, Spain3,421 views
In July I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Madrid University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,500, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $2,800 short.
Doctors at Madrid University Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $2,800 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $330
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,050
• Travel and lodging for the family: $110
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $310
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I hope things turn around soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Likoni
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 17 people at work. God bless.
