Surgery fund for Duygu: cataract surgery in Kadıköy
A scheduled cataract surgery in September is out of reach without help covering $2,000 of the cost.
🇹🇷 Kadıköy, Istanbul, Türkiye2,038 views
Duygu was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in June. The surgeon at Kadıköy General Hospital recommended cataract surgery, and She is scheduled for September. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $4,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $2,000 short.
my sister has been in and out of Kadıköy General Hospital since June. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without cataract surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $4,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Duygu struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Duygu won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,050
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $650
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $100
• Post-operative medication: $60
• Physiotherapy sessions: $80
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
I hope life is good to you.
