Report: Dallas hospital broke law in ER treatment
DALLAS, TX
In a November 2008 letter recently obtained by The Dallas
Morning News, the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
told officials of the biggest general hospital in Dallas that they
had major deficiencies. In fact, the letter states that
"deficiencies are so serious that they constitute an immediate
threat to the health and safety of any individual who comes to your
hospital with an emergency medical condition."
