In June I was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections. My surgeon at São Paulo Community Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $3,050, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $2,450 short. Doctors at São Paulo Community Hospital told me a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $3,050 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner 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 $2,450 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,150 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $700 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $145 • Post-operative medication: $110 • Physiotherapy sessions: $200 • Travel and lodging for the family: $145 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
