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.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand850 views
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.
