They were there to dispute a Miami doctor’s medical bill. Then someone called the cops


A couple went to their neurosurgeon’s office to attend a legal mediation hearing over a lawsuit about medical bills.

This is a problem for the three people involved in the story, but more so for other people who also have incurred medical bills that they were unaware of.

  1. Hi Molly,

    I want to start out by saying I didn't know an earthquake that started near Jamaica effected Miami. That just blew my mind. You did a great job of summarizing the articles. It was easy to read and understand. As a lot of your articles are about Miami, I'm going to assume that you live there. I have never been to Miami, but I learned alot about what is going on there.
