Takoradi
In June I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Takoradi Orthopedic Institute 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 $1,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,150 short. Doctors at Takoradi Orthopedic Institute told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,650 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. Recovery is expected to take about 8 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $410 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $460 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 Thank you for reading my story.
