Laparoscopic endometriosis surgery for Madhuri: covering what insurance won't

Madhuri needs laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Mumbai University Hospital and the family is $1,300 short of the hospital's estimate.

Madhuri was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in July. The surgeon at Mumbai University Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,300 short. my daughter has been in and out of Mumbai University Hospital since July. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Madhuri struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Madhuri 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 $1,300 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $680 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $300 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40 • Post-operative medication: $65 • Physiotherapy sessions: $130 • Travel and lodging for the family: $85 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Sandesh
