Surgery fund for Olof: emergency hernia repair in Stockholm
Olof needs emergency hernia repair at Stockholm General Hospital and the family is $7,900 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇸🇪 Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden5,247 views
In May I was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal. My surgeon at Stockholm General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $10,000, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $7,900 short.
Doctors at Stockholm General Hospital told me a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a care assistant, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $10,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a care assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 4 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 $7,900 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,050
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $3,050
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $320
• Post-operative medication: $340
• Physiotherapy sessions: $740
• Travel and lodging for the family: $400
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Chennai.
Thanks for sharing this, Olof. Wishing Olof a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Good luck, Olof. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
So sorry you're going through this, Olof. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
Stay strong, Olof. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Dar es Salaam
