Snehal's spinal decompression surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill
A scheduled spinal decompression surgery in May is out of reach without help covering $1,050 of the cost.
🇮🇳 Nashik, Maharashtra, India935 views
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.
