Human: I was just hospitalized with a rattlesnake bite and got some anti-venom. I'm fine now, but my bill is too high and I have no way of paying it off. What will the hospital do?

Assistant: Well, if you can't afford the medical bills, I wonder if you could look at other options. Perhaps you could set up a payment plan, or ask if they will give you a loan to pay it off in installments? Or perhaps they'd be interested in hearing about community fundraising efforts.

Assistant: It sounds like you’ve been bitten by a rattlesnake, which can be deadly, and you’ve been treated with anti-venom.  Is this right?
