Surgery fund for Kulap: emergency hernia repair in Bangkok
After a thyroid nodule that needs removal, Kulap was cleared for emergency hernia repair, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Thailand215 views
In August I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Bangkok General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,400, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $850 short.
Doctors at Bangkok General Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,400 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. I'll not be able to walk without help 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 $850 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $210
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $600
• Post-operative medication: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Take care, Kulap. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Kulap. This could happen to any of us. After 11 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
