Help me pay for palate reconstruction surgery at Medan General Hospital
Reza needs palate reconstruction surgery at Medan General Hospital and the family is $500 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇩 Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia1,974 views
In April I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Medan General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $500 short.
Doctors at Medan General Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook 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 walk without help 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 $500 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $130
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $325
Thanks for reading all this.
