Surgery fund for Purvi: septoplasty in Mumbai

In April I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Mumbai General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for July. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,650, and after what my insurance will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Mumbai General Hospital told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,650 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation 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 $1,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $330 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $490 • Physiotherapy sessions: $80 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $45 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
