    45-704B.  LIENS FOR MEDICAL CARE. Every individual or association licensed
or incorporated under the laws of the state of Idaho to practice medicine and
surgery (hereinafter "physician") shall be entitled to a lien for the
reasonable charges for medical care and treatment rendered an injured person
upon any and all causes of action, suits, claims, counterclaims, or demands
accruing to the person to whom such care and treatment was furnished, or to
the legal representatives of such person, on account of injuries giving rise
to such causes of action and which necessitate such medical care and
treatment.  In order to perfect the lien, the physician or his agent shall,
before or within ninety (90) days after the last date of medical services for
the injury, file the lien in the same general form and manner as provided in
section 45-702, Idaho Code, in the office of the recorder of the county in
which the physician rendered the services. The lien shall be recorded and
indexed in the manner provided in section 45-703, Idaho Code. The lien shall
be enforced and/or released in the manner provided in section 45-704, Idaho
Code. If the claimant of the lien shall prevail in an action to enforce the
lien, the court may allow reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements.
