theyre only required by law to stabilize you. youre not getting 'cured'.

if you lose a finger for example, they don't have to put it back on.. only prevent you from bleeding out.

    Stabilize for anyone unfamiliar is

    Probably not going to die in the next 24 hours from easily identifiable injuries.

    Because then they can become liable.

    You can be very unhealthy with multiple broken bones, cancer, be dying softly and still be "stable".
