Incheon
In August I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Incheon General Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for December. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $6,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $3,050 short. Doctors at Incheon General Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $6,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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 $3,050 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $145 • Physiotherapy sessions: $460 • Post-operative medication: $190 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $1,800 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $455 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

          Travel and lodging for the family is $145 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
