[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3364870, member: 41653"] If one has an ER, but no Hospital, then one has no hospital bed in which to admit the non-paying customer. The only required duty of the ER is to stabilize the patient. If there are no bed into which to admit the patient, then once he is stabilized he has to go. The ER loses the money on the initial treatment, but is not stuck with the bill for potentially weeks of expensive treatment, plus rehab. We will see more of this, hospitals with no ER, and standalone ERs. It's simply a defensive measure to avoid truly staggering loses. [/QUOTE]
