Help Vishnu pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Mangaluru Regional Medical Center

Vishnu was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Mangaluru Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $950 short. my father has been in and out of Mangaluru Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Vishnu struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 7 weeks. During that time Vishnu won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 • Travel and lodging for the family: $100 Glad we found this place.
