Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Louisiana

I received a (101) Citation: ISS CIT AND PET; EXHIBET FROM THE 2ND PARISH COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA.

Summoned to comply by making an appearance either by filling a pleading or otherwise in the court within 10 days. This is for a medical bill I owe to West Jefferson Medical Center. I dont have any money right now, what should I do?
