In August I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Mansoura Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Mansoura Regional Medical Center told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,250 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 drive 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 $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $480 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $230 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 If you're reading this, thank you. - Duha
