Help me pay for septoplasty at Gaya University Hospital
After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Sneha was cleared for septoplasty, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇮🇳 Gaya, Bihar, India2,751 views
In February I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Gaya University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for April. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,250, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $1,350 short.
Doctors at Gaya University Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 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 $1,350 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $510
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $590
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Physiotherapy sessions: $95
With deep gratitude,
Sneha

Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mbale
Hope the doctors have good news. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Manila
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Saint Paul so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope April is when things finally get easier. All the best
Hope things get better soon, Sneha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Toronto donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
