After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Patricia was cleared for valve repair surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In July I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Ciudad de México Regional Medical Center 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 $2,900, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $2,300 short. Doctors at Ciudad de México Regional Medical Center told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without valve repair surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,900 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone 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 $2,300 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,250 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $730 • Post-operative medication: $90 • Physiotherapy sessions: $230 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
