Torres Otero v. Hospital General Menonita

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that an allegation that the stabilization treatment provided was incorrect or delayed did not demonstrate that the defendant hospital violated its statutory duty to stabilize before transfer or discharge
• finding that allegations that treatment was “incorrect and/or delayed” constituted an attempt “to engraft an EMTALA failure to stabilize claim upon a medical malpractice claim”
• finding a hospital's failure to follow its procedures could give rise to an EMTALA claim even though the hospital correctly diagnosed the patient's heart attack and treated him for eight days
