Like you're presumably unconscious and at no point ever consent to be liable for the cost, and yet people get billed. It's like if someone just came and did a bunch of work on your house when you were asleep and then sent you a bill.

Like, just wack. It's like if you passed out in Walmart and an employee put a cell phone in your pocket, took your money, then gave you a receipt, and people were like "hmm yes that's legit"

Getting the bill is one thing. Getting it sent to collections and getting the harassing phone calls is another.

A couple days ago I told a debt collector from a hospital I was dead.

If it was an involuntary hold, keep directing their billing and collection efforts to the entity that initiated the hold.
