Septoplasty for Shweta: covering what insurance won't

Shweta was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in June. The surgeon at Tiruchirappalli University Hospital recommended septoplasty, and She is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $830, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $500 short. my mother has been in and out of Tiruchirappalli University Hospital since June. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $830 is more than we can find. While we wait, Shweta struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Shweta won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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 $500 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $330 Thanks for being kind about this.
