You have little chance of getting any debt waived. The charges were made and signed for. Your wife's condition will not legally excuse the obligation to pay regardless of how many trips to a doctor or hospital there may have been. Frankly, the creditors would respond to any arguments that you might raise that knowing your wife's condition you were irresponsible in providing her with credit cards. I would suggest that you try to work out a payment schedule if you cannot afford to pay the debt all at once.
