Surgery fund for Sari: laparoscopic cyst removal in Jakarta Barat

In January I was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated. My surgeon at Jakarta Barat Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $950 short. Doctors at Jakarta Barat Community Hospital told me a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,250 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to lift anything heavy 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: $590 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $310 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $50 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Sari
