Re: violation of rightsunder EMTALA ACT
It depends on the facts. EMTALA cases are quite specific and you must have been sent home for very specific reasons. Malpractice cases are different, but the legislature has passed laws that protect dosctors from lawsuits and the laws make it very difficukt to sue. ER doctors get even more protection and recoveries against them are limited. I would be happy to speak with you if you would like.
