Princess's emergency hernia repair can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled emergency hernia repair in November is out of reach without help covering $1,050 of the cost.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines710 views
In August I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Quezon City Orthopedic Institute recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,050 short.
Doctors at Quezon City Orthopedic Institute told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,400 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $330
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50
• Physiotherapy sessions: $120
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $550
Glad we found this place.

Wishing Princess a smooth procedure and a full recovery
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Quezon City.
Sending love, Princess. Shared this with my family. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
Take care, Princess. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Dhaka.
Hope it all works out, Princess. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
