Howrah
Sapna was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in July. The surgeon at Howrah Orthopedic Institute recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $2,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,000 short. my daughter has been in and out of Howrah Orthopedic Institute since July. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $2,000 is more than we can find. While we wait, Sapna struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Sapna won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,000 goes: • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $75 • Hospital stay (3 nights): $540 • Travel and lodging for the family: $70 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $315 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
