Surgery fund for Per: laparoscopic cyst removal in Stockholm
After an aortic valve defect, Per was cleared for laparoscopic cyst removal, but the bill is more than we can manage.
🇸🇪 Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden2,129 views
In August I was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect. My surgeon at Stockholm University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $9,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $5,550 short.
Doctors at Stockholm University Hospital told me an aortic valve defect will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a taxi driver, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $9,250 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a taxi driver have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 7 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift 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 $5,550 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $3,150
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,550
• Physiotherapy sessions: $850
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
