Do not be surprised if the hospital does not end up suing this woman, that they basically kidnapped, for "care" and "treatment" they will claim to have provided her while she was in their clutches. Even if she has insurance. And if she is sued, even wrongfully, the hospital will get a default judgment against her unless she can afford thousand of dollars for a lawyer to defend the suit. The hospital will then proceed to take the woman's home and/or anything else she owns that they can grab.

Beware that any hospital can make a so-called "mistake" either in diagnosis or billing, or they can actually lie about a patient's needs and condition. Especially one who is a squeaky wheel.

My mother and I are facing this scenario right now because a hospital she was in didn't bill her very ample and available health insurance. The hospital never even sent us a full bill for services they allege to have provided, instead they just sued us right off the bat for everything we have.
