Efe was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in May. The surgeon at Üsküdar Regional Medical Center recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $860, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $600 short. my husband has been in and out of Üsküdar Regional Medical Center since May. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $860 is more than we can find. While we wait, Efe struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Efe won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. 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 $600 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $50 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $300 • Post-operative medication: $50 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
