Praying for your husband’s recovery and that the Lord will point you towards an honest attorney who will protect you from the hospital.

I second that, and add the suggestion that you carefully record whatever information you can about the care that was provided to your husband, which doctor did and said what when, etc. That will help you stay organized and guide his care in a very difficult time, and it could be of great help to you and your attorney if it turns out that there are questions later about what services the hospital actually provided, if they were necessary, if mistakes were made (hopefully not!!) and so on.

Somebody at the hospital is being overly agressive on the money front -- that usually indicates some weakness in their internal organization -- perhaps a need to raise money due to their own errors or financial troubles. Find an attorney who will really advocate for you -- the kind of attorney who isn't afraid to stand up to the hospital, and take care of you and your husband's interests first and foremost. Personally I'd try to find an attorney who has sued and won against the hospital, or the doctors that work there -- that sends a strong message to them.
