Mangaluru
In September I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Mangaluru Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $940, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $750 short. Doctors at Mangaluru Community Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $940 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $750 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $480 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 Thanks for reading all this.

            is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Janani

            • Janani C. VaradarajanOwnerAnswerID verified

              Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. pre-operative tests and imaging comes first ($70) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
