Nuremberg
In November I was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. My surgeon at Nuremberg Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $11,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $7,650 short. Doctors at Nuremberg Community Hospital told me a large ovarian cyst will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $11,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 7 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. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $7,650 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,650 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $370 • Post-operative medication: $300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $360 • Travel and lodging for the family: $320 Thank you for reading my story. - Finn
