    Hi Michael,

    So sorry about your diagnosis. You don’t have insurance? How are you paying for your CT scans and doctor visits? For now, you need to keep your blood pressure LOW! Avoid stress, and no lifting heavy objects/no straining. If you don’t have insurance, can you negotiate to lower the fees with the hospital and surgeon, and make payments?

    I understand the General hospital in Manila is a large multi - discipline 1500 bed hospital. The hospital caters for 500 bed for private fee paying patients and 1,000 beds for non fee paying patients....not sure what you are asking for?

    If you are looking for charity, you can set up a GoFundMe page and promote it via Facebook and other social media sites. Ask family and friends for help...whatever you have to do to have your surgery.
