re: Arkansas hospital lawyers up, sues for medical debt

I'm guilty. I was young and didn't have insurance when I fell rock climbing. Hospital slashed my bill in half down to $30k. I paid about $10k and then was sick of going through my savings, so I just said screw them and tossed the bills in the trash. Year later (two years after the initial accident) I was served civil suit court papers by a sheriff, collections was suing me for the remainder. I tossed them in the trash too. Never heard anything else. Years later I'm assuming the court just threw it out. I don't recommend what I did.
