Kunal's laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled laparoscopic endometriosis surgery in December is out of reach without help covering $550 of the cost.
🇮🇳 India1,269 views
In September I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $690, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $550 short.
Doctors at Mumbai Orthopedic Institute told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $690 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $550 goes:
• Travel and lodging for the family: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $115
• Post-operative medication: $25
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310
Glad we found this place.
