Surgery fund for Kiara: a craniotomy in Nizamabad
A scheduled a craniotomy in January is out of reach without help covering $1,300 of the cost.
🇮🇳 Nizamabad, Telangana, India1,720 views
In November I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Nizamabad Community Hospital recommended a craniotomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for January. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,850, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,300 short.
Doctors at Nizamabad Community Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without a craniotomy. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,850 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a seamstress have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $30
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $650
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $470
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55
• Physiotherapy sessions: $95
I hope life is good to you.
