Surgery fund for Rakesh: spinal decompression surgery in Vadodara

In August I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Vadodara Orthopedic Institute recommended spinal decompression surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,350, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $950 short. Doctors at Vadodara Orthopedic Institute told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. I work as a hotel cleaner, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,350 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a hotel cleaner have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 6 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 $950 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $485 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
