Dương was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in February. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $950 short. my son has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City General Hospital since February. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Dương struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Dương 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $390 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $110 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $395 Thank you so much.
