- I can't sue for malpractice because of the statute of limitations. This
- happened about 6 1/2 years ago! But I want to refinance my condo so
- I can pay my legitimate bills (like my student loan!) but now a creepo
- from the Broward County Collection Services called me and I spoke
- to him in a normal way until he started with his generic collection
- guy insults. *sigh* I just hung up on Magnum P.I. and called an
- attorney, who sent Magnum a letter. I am awaiting the results.
-
- I didn't want to sue to begin with, I just wanted to live! I was
- bombarded with hospital bills that I could not pay, I offered
- something like 25 dollars a month to each of the four hospitals
- I went to (except the clinic, I offered them a lawsuit and never
- heard from them again until they sneaked the collection agency thing
- on me). Everyone dropped the bills except this jerk. I am forever
- indebted to the doctors and the hospitals I went to, and will
- someday repay them, one way or another. The Seven Mile Clinic (in
- Winter Park, Colorado) is making it impossible for me to have a chance
- to even pay for the education I just received; I can't even get
- started because of this rich doctor enjoying his lucrative business
- and his low paid incompitent staff in a ski paradise is stepping
- on my credit after almost killing me! If I had died, he would have
- been sued anyway! Gotta go, bye!
