Ratul was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in August. The surgeon at Khulna General Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and He is scheduled for November. 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 $600 short.
my son has been in and out of Khulna General Hospital since August. 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, Ratul struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 12 weeks. During that time Ratul won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing.
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 $600 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Physiotherapy sessions: $55
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $445

Good luck, Tareq. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
stay strong. Wishing Ratul a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
