<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

I am a dog groomer and I was bitten by a dog at work. I finished my work day and went to the doctor the next day. I made it clear that the injury happened at work and the ladies behind the desk at the doctor's office said they wouldn't treat me without workers comp paperwork. I called my boss and his wife had just been involved in a car accident so I was told, "Go to the hospital, not urgent care, and have them bill me." 

So I did. I was treated and went about my day. This was February of this year. 

I started getting bills in the mail and have talked to no less than 10 people explaining the situation. My name is on the account because I was the patient. 

My (now former) boss has told me in emails and texts that he has sent payments and that I will no longer be receiving bills. He has told me that "They (the hospital collection agency) are wrong, I've been sending money." I received a phone call last week and a paper bill today. 

I spoke to a very unhelpful woman today who told me the hospital bill is going to collections on November 5th. She told me that since the workers comp insurance isn't paying that I, as the patient, am responsible for the entire bill. I live under the poverty level and a $950 bill will be devastating to me financially.
<bot>: Injured at work while covered by workers comp insurance, boss isn't paying the bill and the hospital is saying I'm responsible.
