Septoplasty for Anita: covering what insurance won't

Anita was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in August. The surgeon at Vadodara Orthopedic Institute recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,150 short. my sister has been in and out of Vadodara Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find. While we wait, Anita struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 7 weeks. During that time Anita won't be able to drive, 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 $1,150 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $630 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $330 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 Thanks for reading all this.
