In January I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Nashik University Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,750, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,050 short. Doctors at Nashik University Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,750 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $560 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $230 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Post-operative medication: $30 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $35 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Snehal
