Legal issues in Admission to the Hospital?
This question is rather vague, but I imagine what you're asking is under what circumstances is a normal (i.e. non-mental health) hospital legally obligated to admit a patient. A hospital has a right to refuse treatment under normal circumstances. It cannot refuse treatment in cases of trauma if doing so would result in death, permanent injury, etc. The (rare) exception is in a large-scale disaster of some sort - if a thousand people are critically injured in a volcano eruption, obviously a hospital with 200 beds is not obligated to admit all 1000.
