Gwagwalada
In November I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Gwagwalada University 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 insurance will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Gwagwalada University Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections 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. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $1,000 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $460 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $380 Glad we found this place.
