collection calls

[Justin...Credible]

I recently got a home phone # and I forgot to get it as unlisted. So I've been getting collection call for ambulance rides a over night hospital stays I had about 6 yaers ago. Does anybody know if there if there is a statue of limitations on these incidences. The first social worker I saw out in Vegas told me the doctors could write it off on there taxes and not to worry about it. There is no way I'm gonna pay for a ride that took me to a psych ward accusing me of being high on drugs nor giving proper treatment when I didn't know what my body was doing to me. So does anybody have any suggestions about what I should do?

I have no clue Justin. Perhaps someone else here has info on this or a legal forum might be able to answer it.

You would probably be best served talking to a CPA or a lawyer. However, I did find this:
