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

Manoj was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in March. The surgeon at Biratnagar Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $650 short. my son has been in and out of Biratnagar Orthopedic Institute since March. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find. While we wait, Manoj 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 7 weeks. During that time Manoj won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $650 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $230 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $70 • Post-operative medication: $45 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $275 Every share and every dollar helps. - Sushila
