How courts have described this case

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

• highlighting that the EMTALA was enacted to address the issue of hospitals “dumping” patients who were unable to pay by refusing to provide them emergency medical treatment or transferring them before their medical condition is stabilized
• “The statutory language of the EMTALA clearly declines to impose on hospitals a national standard of care in screening patients.”
• no private rights of action against physicians because they are not “hospitals” under EMTALA
• In the face of both statutory language and legislative history indicating a clear Congressional in tent that private suits under EMTALA be limited to claims against hospitals, there could be no implied private cause of action for claims against physicians
