Dhaka
In August I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Dhaka Regional Medical Center recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,000 short. Doctors at Dhaka Regional Medical Center told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a retail assistant, 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 retail assistant have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to drive during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. 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: $60 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $420 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $520 Every share and every dollar helps. - Tania
