Dasmariñas
In July I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Dasmariñas Regional Medical Center recommended hip replacement surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $800, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $600 short. Doctors at Dasmariñas Regional Medical Center told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without hip replacement surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $800 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $485 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
