Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California

manager said they would pay for ambulance and now deny it

Hi sorry if this is posted in the wrong law area. what can i do?I was working at a electronics retail store back in oct 22 2007 when the fires were here. the store became filled with smoke and i was at the back of the store in the break room and the smoke started to get to me. i had a asthma attack and was starting to feel faint and sick.my manager said are you ok and i said i need to go home i don't feel well.he said well lets talk to the store manager and we'll see. we talked to the store manager and he said no i couldn't go home.i almost passed out and wasn't doing good at all and they decided to call an ambulance.the ambulance got there and i denied medical treatment as i did not have medical innsurance and just wanted to go home and get out of the smoke.the ambulance couldnt treat me till i agreed.the store manager and other employees were yelling at me to let the ambulance do their job.the store manager said that they would pay for everything so i agreed to get treated and went to the hospital.now my work isn't paying for it and they are sticking me with the bill.the manager's and employees when i returned were unfair and i heard them say i just did that to get out of work and they treated me different after that.
