>> Wrong.....there are cases that are refused by one hospital but directed to another... There are such cases, but those in which EMTALA was violated are exceedingly rare and those in which the patient's outcome was in some way harmed are even more rare. Because patient dumping is a tort which will invariably lead to legal problems. By one estimate in the late 80s the number of incidents involving transferring patients amounted to 250,000 in one year. This was based on the number of incidents where patients didn't receive ALL of the care at the transferring hospital the agenda-driven authors thought should have been rendered. So, for example, if a person presented with heart attack symptoms and was stabilized as required by the law before being transferred, that would be considered "dumping", even though the law was followed. When you boil it down the number of legitimate cases in a year is immaterial.
