in my experience, not challenging you or your friend's experience, i've had life-threating emergencies resulting from a disease that requires continued treatment and i was not denied er or hospital.
in fact, that was the most aggravating part of that foot issue. i went from walking the dog with the television on, to being in a hospital via er, i.e., i was checked-in as a patient to the hospital by the er doctor.
the problem was that i needed to go home and deal with some very important business issues. i was informed by hospital admin that to do that meant i had to check out and if i checked out they were not going to let me check back, i would have to go to another er and get admitted to that er's hospital.
