There was no resistance to the US military at the hospital that I recall.

I understand that, but are POW's routinely just handed over to us from civilians?

She was either a POW or a patient.

If she was a patient, I think the army would be expecting a bill by now.

In the context of this particular war, maybe, - remember the other seven POWs? They were simply left by the retreating Iraqi army to the local civies who in turn pretty much just turned them over the the advancing U.S. troops.
