Surgery fund for Meet: a partial thyroidectomy in Nagpur

In June I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Nagpur General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $800 short. Doctors at Nagpur General Hospital told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to stand for more than ten minutes 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 $800 goes: • Post-operative medication: $35 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $105 • Physiotherapy sessions: $140 I hope life is good to you.
