in many hospitals the er is a unique department and all services and billing performed in the er is dealt with independently of any other services by the hospital. Due to being held in the er, in such hospitals, it would result in a separate bill from the er department. While I understand your disagreement with the billing, i ask you: would you prefer they allow your daughter to wait in the parking lot and not be tended to by anybody from the hospital? While that suggestion is a bit facetious, I’m trying to make the point that if they didn’t hold her in the er, just what would you expect them to do with your daughter until a room was available?
