financial charges from various doctors. Then find all the contact info of
these doctors. Pay each of them a schedule visit and tell them the truth
sincerely. Most of them will lower the charges. Also talk to the hospital
financial aid department. Most hospitals have special funds to cover this
type of cases. Ask them sincerely and show them that your father has zero
income in the U.S.
If you are lucky, you might only pay |

What I Know is that all signs were provided by his mom or his dad. So the
hospital didnot give any trouble to him (employee of the school, hospital is
school hospital).He didnot pay a penny. The hospital just sent bill to his
father, even after he went back to China. Just told the hospital your dad
doesn't have money to pay.
