Prasert was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in October. The surgeon at Saint Elizabeth Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and He is scheduled for January. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $2,200 short. my father has been in and out of Saint Elizabeth Hospital since October. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,750 is more than we can find. While we wait, Prasert struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Prasert won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $2,200 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $960 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $980 • Post-operative medication: $75 • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $135 Thanks for being kind about this. - Napat
