Drowning in Bills

A hero gets the bill:
The family of a 17-year-old Zion teen credited with saving a drowning boy on Monday in Kenosha, Wis., say the good deed has unfairly saddled them with more than $2,000 in medical bills.
An ambulance took him to the hospital for "precautionary" reasons. The ambulance ride alone is valued at $700.

If you lack insurance, be wary
of ambulance rides that are merely "precautionary".

The price tag can be scary.

This story will be complete when rescuer receives his court papers from rescuee.

That would be perfection.

Maybe a "wrongful life" suit.

Or maybe a "you didn't do as good a job saving my life as I would have liked" suit.
