Hero Faces Medical Expenses

Another sad story of someone who was a hero, getting eaten alive with medical expenses.  This is truly sad how one can save the life of another and end up financially devastated for "doing the right thing". BD

William Hoover does not wear a flowing red cape.
He is neither faster than a speeding bullet nor more powerful than a locomotive. He may not be Superman, but he certainly is as heroic.
On Nov. 10, Hoover, 49, pulled 20-year-old Samantha Williams from her burning Fort Smith apartment, saving her from certain death.
Unlike Superman, Hoover is not indestructible. In a desperate attempt to rescue Williams, Hoover suffered a debilitating injury to his right arm. But he has no regrets.

“We’re so far behind on everything it’s pitiful,” Hoover said.
Hoover said he has so far incurred between $150,000 and $160,000 in medical bills. With more surgeries to come, the debt will continue to grow.
Creditors, Hoover said, have begun demanding payments.
“The credit bureau is already talking about suing,” Hoover said. “They want to sell everything we got.”
