Edit: I did go to the hospital emergency room here in the US once and before ever talking to a doctor in a room, laying on a medical bed I was asked to sign forms by somebody whose whole job was to collect insurance info and make people sign waivers under duress.
I can’t imagine those waivers hold up in court so the entire goal of presenting them is probably to intimidate people
Nah. First question is “do you have insurance?”
Thats just the US though.
