Okay you are full of sh#t. Period.
I’ve worked as an ER physician for over 20 years and that statement is completely and totally false. We see EVERYONE who presents to the department. No one can even ASK about insurance till after they are registered and screened.
Where did you get this BS?
Perhaps you have worked in a better ER/hospital for the past 20 years and you have great personal ethics...but such “high tech” dumping does occur in more hospitals then you would think...and I have worked 22 years as a critical care RN in a variety of them.
