It's not an ER, it's a voluntary request for medical services. And case in point, they found another provider.
Oh, do you think by explaining it I agree with it? I do not. But that it the simple legal reality.
EDs are ruled by EMTALA, yes, but all of healthcare is ruled by HIPAA.
Sign to revoke HIPAA, though we’re sidestepping using its specific name, or go elsewhere lacks ethics imo. Though I think the other story here is people don’t read it, it’s just another iTunes user agreement they’re clicking as a pass through, clueless that this is in there.
