Surgery fund for Manuel: a partial thyroidectomy in Tarragona

A scheduled a partial thyroidectomy in October is out of reach without help covering $3,500 of the cost.

Tarragona
In July I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Tarragona Orthopedic Institute recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,000, and after what my employer's plan will pay, I'm still $3,500 short. Doctors at Tarragona Orthopedic Institute told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a retail assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,000 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. The recovery period is expected to take about 3 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. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $3,500 goes: • Travel and lodging for the family: $300 • Physiotherapy sessions: $610 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $2,000 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450 • Post-operative medication: $140 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Manuel

    I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Narayanganj

    • Tadeusz KowalskiQuestion

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Manuel!

      • Manuel W. RojasOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is travel and lodging for the family, $300. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.

      Hope it all works out, Manuel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 27 people at work.
