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

Julia was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Nuremberg Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $6,900 short. my mother has been in and out of Nuremberg Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Julia struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Julia won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $6,900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,550 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $570 • Post-operative medication: $380 • Physiotherapy sessions: $670 • Travel and lodging for the family: $280 Glad we found this place.
