Short answer -- Attempt to go to the hospital and see what happens.

Bankruptcy law allows individuals who are facing financial distress to have their debts legally eliminated. However, although your hospital debts were legally eliminated (bankruptcy term is called "discharged") you can still decide on your own to repay certain debts. If I was in your situation I would seek medical attention from the hospital you mentioned. Perhaps the billing department will not realize you have discharged your prior hospital bills. If this issue does come up you could work out a payment arrangement to pay for your prior bills and your new medical bills. I hope you are successful in this. ph. (800) 303-0720
