In August I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $11,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $5,650 short. Doctors at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $11,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $5,650 goes: • Post-operative medication: $200 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,350 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $2,650 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450 Glad we found this place. - Javier
