My question involves malpractice in the state of: New Mexico
How can a senior mentally ill person being on a court ordered 30 day hold from a psychiatric hospital, then transported to a regular heath hospital for poor health reasons give legal consent for treatment when she is still manic and lethargic, and did not sign in, or consent in writing to any procedure?
She had Medicare part B and D, but could not afford medicare part A when she was of age, because she could never work because of her disability, and was not married longer than 10 years. She passed away and her medical bills are above 100,000.00. I understand probate, but my question is, is she really liable for all these bills? When as judge Judy would put it, she was forced to eat the burger?
