Jung-hee was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in August. The surgeon at Incheon General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $3,750, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $2,800 short. my wife has been in and out of Incheon General Hospital since August. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $3,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jung-hee struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. 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 8 weeks. During that time Jung-hee won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,800 goes: • Hospital stay (2 nights): $970 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,100 • Physiotherapy sessions: $300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $430 I hope life is good to you.
