In November I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Makati Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,800, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,250 short. Doctors at Makati Community Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,800 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 6 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. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,250 goes: โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $75 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $55 โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560 โ€ข Hospital stay (4 nights): $470 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $90 Thanks for being kind about this.
