Richard Thomas v. Christ Hospital and Medical Center, 328 F.3d 890 (7th Cir. 2003)

Summary judgment for a hospital on an EMTALA failure-to-stabilize claim was REVERSED where ED staff's own contemporaneous observations showed the patient may have been unstable at discharge. Under the applicable CMS/HCFA guidance, a psychiatric patient is 'stabilized' only if he or she is no longer a threat to self or others — and 'threat' is not limited to patients who are suicidal or homicidal. What matters is the facts known to the hospital's staff AT THE TIME OF DISCHARGE, not merely the eventual outcome.

Roberts v. Galen of Virginia, Inc., 525 U.S. 249 (1999) (per curiam)

EMTALA's stabilization requirement, 42 U.S.C. § 1395dd(b), contains no express or implied 'improper motive' requirement. A plaintiff need not prove the hospital's failure to stabilize was motivated by indigency, race, sex, or any other improper reason; unlike § 1395dd(a), subsection (b) contains no 'appropriateness' language that could be read to import such a requirement.
