If a person enters a hospital''s ER complaining of chest pain and then nausea, what are the proper procedures a hospital suppose to follow?

This is more of a medical question than a legal question.  Here is a link to text that can answer the question for you, but in general a patient history has to be taken, the patient has to be examined, and the literature suggests that a patient should be placed on a cardiac monitor, given oxygen, chest x-ray, ECG among other things.  Click here for an article that explains what you can expect when filing a medical malpractice case.  Click here for an article that discusses the three main questions I ask when deciding whether to investigate a potential medical malpractice case. Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
