Choose your weapon.
Not at all surprising, really.About two weeks ago. My wife's been having breathing issues since late last year, and we can't get a good diagnosis. The pulmonologist who treated her earlier is a dick who won't listen to his patients, and the other ones in town work in the same practice as him and they won't second-guess each other.
Meanwhile, I can't help but notice you've utterly disregarded KKLCB's post.
Yes I am totally disregarding her post.
Ahh, but the law is changing, isn't it?No ER will refuse a patient in need of care. It's agaisnt the law, and opens the hospital up to a lawsuit. Hospitals are required by law to treat you and stabilize you, after that they can transfer you if needed, but they can't say " we've already helped you this month, go somewhere else"
And nobody really knows how. That's what happens when you rush through a poorly-written pile of crap that's had no thought given to the consequences.
No. Obamacare does nothing to change EMTALA, which is a federal mandate from 1986.
Nice try, though.
