Pasig
Jenny was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc in July. The surgeon at Pasig General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,200, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $600 short. my sister has been in and out of Pasig General Hospital since July. The doctors say a herniated spinal disc will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,200 is more than we can find. While we wait, Jenny struggles with daily life and can't drive. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Jenny won't be able to drive, 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: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $25 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $390 • Travel and lodging for the family: $90 Glad we found this place. - Benjamin
