Help Ramesh pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Lucknow Regional Medical Center
After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Ramesh was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Ramesh was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Lucknow Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $750 short.
my brother has been in and out of Lucknow Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Ramesh struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Ramesh won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
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 $750 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $510
• Travel and lodging for the family: $40
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $170
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless
keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in San Francisco donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Rooting for you. Get well soon. After 18 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Seattle.
hope things get better soon, Shweta. Hope this works out for you
