Moonlighting right now. ER doc whispers to me that a 26 year old CP left AMA. THe 26 year old asked him, “why you admiting me?” ER doc told him simply, you had Chest pain. I have no choice.
The ER doc told me this in a matter of fact way, and that the kid shouldn’t have left AMA.
It’s a shame what our society has come to.
