Declined by public system, forced to go private.

Help Rose get her breast reduction!
From the doctor -
Rose has asymmetrical large breasts. There is considerable impact from her breast size and asymmetry, including neck and back pain, discomfort and pain from bra straps, inability to exercise as desired and run and needed, discomfort with wearing a seatbelt, inframammary rashes, headaches up to 4x per weeks due to back and shoulder pain, and negative psychological sequelae (reduced confidence, harassment/unwelcome touch from strangers). Of note, the pain Rose has experienced has been daily over 15 years, and she has been advised that her breast weight/size has contributed to the sever flares of back pain which have resulted in recurrent presentations to A+E (including precious L4/5 disc herniation, and two collapses in 2019 secondary pain. On the second occasion she was diagnosed as having severe lumbar spasms on the basis of loss of lumber lordosis/tightness in the spinal erector muscles resulting from upper back stiffness and pain).
We have repeatedly attempted to refer Rose through for surgery in the public system, but the pressures on the public system have been such that the referrals have been declined.

This money will go towards the private breast reduction that the public hospitals have declined 3 times.
Surgery in Hamilton is Cheaper 10 May 2021
Hey everyone!
Through absolute luck and talking about this with everyone, one of my dear friends made a connection for me with a girl who had her reduction done in Hamilton for 1/3 the cost of Auckland surgery (I had 11 quotes at this bracket of $20-$25k).
Such great news!!
