You should start by talking to financial services at the hospital about getting your bills written off. Since you have no income, and if you have no assets to garnish, it does no good for them to pursue a judgment against you. Most hospitals have programs to assist those most financially vulnerable. At the very least, they might reduce your debt, and set up a payment plan.
