After a hernia that has become strangulated, Jameson was cleared for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Jameson was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in February. The surgeon at New York University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $8,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $5,950 short.
my son has been in and out of New York University Hospital since February. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $8,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Jameson struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 6 weeks. During that time Jameson won't be able to lift anything heavy, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $5,950 goes:
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,500
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,300
• Physiotherapy sessions: $960
• Post-operative medication: $190
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jameson!
Hospital stay (4 nights) is $2,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Wishing Jameson a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings
thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from London
Take care, Thomas. Wishing Jameson a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Sylhet this morning.
