Het was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly in February. The surgeon at New Delhi Community Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,300, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $1,050 short.
my father has been in and out of New Delhi Community Hospital since February. The doctors say a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,300 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Het struggles with daily life and can't lift anything heavy. 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 10 weeks. During that time Het won't be able to lift anything heavy, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $390
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $430
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75
• Post-operative medication: $25
• Physiotherapy sessions: $95
• Travel and lodging for the family: $35
Thank you so much.
