Alcalá de Henares
Renata was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in August. The surgeon at Alcalá de Henares General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $6,250, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $5,000 short. my daughter has been in and out of Alcalá de Henares General Hospital since August. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $6,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Renata struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Renata won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,350 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,450 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450 • Post-operative medication: $220 • Physiotherapy sessions: $390 • Travel and lodging for the family: $140 Glad we found this place. - Ricardo
