Rohini
Saraswathi was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in August. The surgeon at Rohini University Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,500, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $900 short. my wife has been in and out of Rohini University Hospital since August. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,500 is more than we can find. While we wait, Saraswathi 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 6 weeks. During that time Saraswathi 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 $900 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $420 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $190 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65 • Post-operative medication: $40 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $60 Thanks for being kind about this.
