Help me pay for knee replacement surgery at Bangkok Community Hospital

After a hernia that has become strangulated, Hathai was cleared for knee replacement surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In October I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Bangkok Community Hospital recommended knee replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $750 short. Doctors at Bangkok Community Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without knee replacement surgery. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period 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 $750 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $560 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Travel and lodging for the family: $110 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Hathai
