I'm not wrong if you go into the hospital they have to treat you that is the law!!!! It's the right to care law. it is posted in every ER in every hospital in the US. they can not refuse to treat you.
It is the EMTALA Law if you care to look it up. When I became a Paramedic i had to read and sign this law to get my license, if I refuse to treat some one or give them transport to the hospital I lose my license and pay a fine and could spend 25 yrs in jail. If the hospital has the means to treat you they must treat you , if they do not have the means they must transport you to a hospital that can.
