Tushar was diagnosed with endometriosis requiring surgery in August. The surgeon at Durgapur Regional Medical Center recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $250, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $200 short. my brother has been in and out of Durgapur Regional Medical Center since August. The doctors say endometriosis requiring surgery will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Tushar struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Tushar won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $200 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $75 • Post-operative medication: $60 • Travel and lodging for the family: $65 Thanks for reading all this.
