Only hospital in N.M. city sues thousands over medical bills, garnishes wages

When Donna Hernandez had the flu last year, she went to her local emergency room in New Mexico, where she received two IV bags of saline, a dose of antiviral medication and a drug to help with her nausea. She says after about two and a half hours, she was on her way. Hernandez recovered from the flu, but still hasn't recovered from the shock of the bill she received afterward. It was for more than $6,000.
