Help me pay for valve repair surgery at Amsterdam Community Hospital
Daan needs valve repair surgery at Amsterdam Community Hospital and the family is $6,350 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇳🇱 North Holland, Netherlands4,749 views
In August I was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction. My surgeon at Amsterdam Community Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $9,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $6,350 short.
Doctors at Amsterdam Community Hospital told me a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $9,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period 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 $6,350 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,750
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,600
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $550
• Post-operative medication: $350
• Physiotherapy sessions: $720
• Travel and lodging for the family: $380
Glad we found this place.
