Help me pay for spinal decompression surgery at Mysuru Community Hospital
After a torn ligament that needs reconstruction, Aditi was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇮🇳 Mysuru, Karnataka, India1,538 views
In December I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Mysuru Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for February. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $950 short.
Doctors at Mysuru Community Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,200 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to drive 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 $950 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $360
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $300
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Physiotherapy sessions: $90
• Travel and lodging for the family: $75
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
