In January I was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes. My surgeon at Bristol Orthopedic Institute recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for May. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $8,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $6,000 short. Doctors at Bristol Orthopedic Institute told me severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $8,000 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs 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 $6,000 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,700 • Post-operative medication: $240 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $520 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,850 • Physiotherapy sessions: $690 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Savannah
