Hi Jerie,

Geez, that is a tough place to be in.

I don't understand when you say you have no PCP and no hospital to go to. Will no one at all see you?

It is a violation of EMTALA (emergency medical treatment and labor act) to refuse care to someone presenting to the ER. If you are being turned away without a medical screening that is against the law. However, If the ER is seeing you but declining to treat pain it may be because their hands are tied by the new regs.
