    Default 22 Year Old Debt

    I was recently refused medical treatment for a hernia due to a bill owed the surgical group from over 22 years ago, and they are the only surgeons in the town.

    Guess you should have paid the bill 22 years ago.

    Physicians are not obligated to treat everyone who walks through their door....unless it's a life threatening emergency. They deserve to be paid for their services. Did you even attempt to make payment?

    Yes, it was emergency gall bladder surgery, $20,000 was told I could go thru vocational rehab before surgery to help pay the bill, after surgery was told it was an acute condition not covered by voc. rehab. and the payment scale they set was more than I made.
