Montego Bay
In August I was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect. My surgeon at Montego Bay Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,800, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,250 short. Doctors at Montego Bay Community Hospital told me an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,800 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $930 • Post-operative medication: $110 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $145 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 Thank you so much.
