Mar del Plata
In July I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Mar del Plata Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,550, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,250 short. Doctors at Mar del Plata Regional Medical Center told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,550 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 7 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. 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 $1,250 goes: • Hospital stay (5 nights): $870 • Post-operative medication: $35 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $110 • Travel and lodging for the family: $80 • Physiotherapy sessions: $155 Thanks for being kind about this. - Isabel
