If a patient chooses not to receive the treatment doctors recommend, and the patient is in the ER or in-patient, the patient will be asked to sign a "Left against medical advice" type form. It releases the doctor and facility from any liability if the patient leaves, then gets sicker or dies after refusing treatment.
