Surgery fund for Aarti: gallbladder removal in Nashik

Nashik
In August I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Nashik Orthopedic Institute recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $250, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $150 short. Doctors at Nashik Orthopedic Institute told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $250 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. Recovery is expected to take about 10 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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 $150 goes: • Post-operative medication: $45 • Physiotherapy sessions: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 Glad we found this place. - Aarti
