    Oh, weird. And I know from personal experience that signing up for Medicaid and the like that it’s not a fast process and he probably isn’t even signed up by this point. I suppose he could have contributed to unnecessarily over-burdening the emergency medical system, which I only begrudge him for because he had the option to do otherwise. To be clear, I do not think poorly of those who go to the ER because they have no other options. They are why I am doing my best to get a really good foundation in primary care medicine during medical school while intending on going into emergency medicine. This guy though? If I knew his whole background, I’d be hard-pressed to want to do more than the EMTALA basics for him.
