Colombo
In October I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Colombo Community Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,500, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $1,050 short. Doctors at Colombo Community Hospital told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a restaurant cook, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,500 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a restaurant cook have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,050 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $110 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $470 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $340 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
