Suresh's cataract surgery can't wait - please help us cover the bill

Suresh was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Bengaluru Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,100 short. my son has been in and out of Bengaluru Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Suresh struggles with daily life and can't drive. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Suresh won't be able to drive, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,100 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $320 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $500 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 Thanks for being kind about this. - Shilpa
