Mohit was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in December. The surgeon at Durgapur Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for April. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,000 short. my brother has been in and out of Durgapur Orthopedic Institute since December. The doctors say a benign brain tumor will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Mohit struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Mohit won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $310 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $470 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $5 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
