The Hospital Charged Me for a Dead Man’s Bills,This Time, I Refused to Pay

My mother's fever wouldn't break, so on my boyfriend's recommendation I took her to the hospital where his old flame, Muriel Pruitt, worked.

But after a month in that hospital, she hadn't improved in the slightest, and then a nurse handed me a bill for $2.6 million.

Holding that impossible bill, I went to Muriel and challenged it.

She only looked down her nose at me and said, "Family members, please don't use your amateur opinions to question my professional judgment. Pay the bill quickly, before you miss the best window for treatment."
