Surgery fund for Nilesh: septoplasty in Saket

In June I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Saket Orthopedic Institute recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,450, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,100 short. Doctors at Saket Orthopedic Institute told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a seamstress, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,450 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 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. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,100 goes: • Hospital stay (4 nights): $420 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $510 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $85 • Physiotherapy sessions: $85 Every share and every dollar helps. - Nilesh
