Can you sue a hospital that treats you against your will and then charges you $100,000
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.

Well I certainly wouldn't be paying on it. I'd rather be dead then have that kind of debt, especially against my will.

They can sue you if you don't pay the $100,000.

As an EMT, an unconscious patient in need of life-saving treatment would be giving implied consent. Best to get a lawyer and flesh out the details.
All this has happened before, and will happen again.

No, hospitals are protected from such matters. They can pretty much do whatever they want...

If you work, have nice credit or have some stuff worth stealing, they will hunt you down.

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.

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!!
