Can you sue a hospital that treats you against your will and then charges you $100,000 | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 53292706 United States 05/02/2014 02:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Say you had some really bad illness and you had no money, friends or family to help you. One day, in a shopping mall, you collapse on the floor in front of everyone and someone takes you to the hospital to get you treated. You specifically refuse treatment but the doctors operate anyway. When you wake up, you find out you are alive and the hospital charges you $100,000. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57583416 Can you sue the hospital for treatin you against your will? Well I certainly wouldn't be paying on it. I'd rather be dead then have that kind of debt, especially against my will. |

If you have nothing and are lost to the world, what can they do to you. Obviously you are the later since you failed to mention insurance. 7 years that bill will follow you, after that it will be waved. Otherwise file chapter 7 Were you awake and aware to say no, before they knifed you |

Don't sue the hospital. Sue the man/woman who did the operation against your will. As far as the hospital bill, write them a kindly letter letting them know you can only afford $?????? per month. If your offer is refused, the debt disappears!! Make sure you know exactly what you're doing before proceeding. beebee |

If you write a letter addressing the debt issue, make sure you address it to a man or woman and not to a corporation!!! That's VERY important!! beebee |
