Springfield Hospital can't pay its bills. 'It's very unnerving.'

Eye doctor Richard Lane walked into a freezing cold office on the Springfield Hospital campus one morning two months ago and realized there was no oil in the fuel tank. When Lane called the fuel supplier out of frustration, the company told him they weren’t delivering oil to the office on River Street because Springfield Hospital wasn’t paying its bills, Lane said. So he paid out of his own pocket for an emergency delivery of 100 gallons.
