In July I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at Manchester University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,500, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $4,950 short. Doctors at Manchester University Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 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. 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 $4,950 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $590 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $2,150 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,750 • Post-operative medication: $155 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $305 Glad we found this place. - Ryan
