Istanbul
In October I was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair. My surgeon at Istanbul General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,350, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,400 short. Doctors at Istanbul General Hospital told me a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,350 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery 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. 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 $1,400 goes: • Hospital stay (3 nights): $420 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $785 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Hüseyin
