My daughter was thrown from a horse at college. She was taken by ambulance to the local hospital and then by life flight to a trauma center.She had x-rays taken and the doctor called ,said all was fine, sending her home. Hour ride home in great pain and then 3 flights of stairs to her room. The next morning hospital called,told her to get back immediately , her back was broken. Again, down 3 flights of stairs and an hour drive. Once she got to the hosp. she was made to wait for over 4 hours, sitting in a chair, before seeing a dr. I got there that evening, asked to see a dr. waited 7.5 hours before he showed up. Was told he had no info because he didn't treat her. She was fitted for a brace, had xrays and was back in her room by 1 pm. We had no results until 915pm and only because I hounded them. Turns out that orthopedics had her results at 330 but no one could be bothered to come up to write release (dr's words). she spent 2 days in hosp. Can we sue for bills not paid by ins ?
