Laparoscopic cyst removal for Mikhail: covering what insurance won't

Mikhail was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections in August. The surgeon at Dnipro Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,850, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,300 short. my father has been in and out of Dnipro Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,850 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mikhail struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Mikhail won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,300 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $480 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $155 • Travel and lodging for the family: $95 I hope life is good to you.
