Ron Roland's Medical Expense & Care

Ron Roland went to the ER on December 28th in Silver City NM with a BP of 244/124 and pulse rate of 120. He was then transported by ambulance 2 and a half hrs away to El Paso TX. After 8 days in the CVICU and one preliminary surgery to attempt a stent for his valve, he underwent Bentall procedure, an open heart 6 hour surgery to replace his valve which was 80 percent nonfunctional. His only insurance is Medicare. Additionally there are transportation costs for when he is discharged as he is more than 2 hours from home. There will also be expensive pharmacological costs for his meds of which they are numerous. He has no savings or retirement other than social security. Ron is a fulltime artist who recently retired from selling at art shows. Any help is appreciated.
