Amy is working as a new RN in an emergency department (ED). A patient has arrived in the ED and has a diagnosis of renal failure. The ED physician concludes, after testing, that the patient is in need of dialysis. The patient claims that he is an illegal immigrant and cannot pay for dialysis service. He was obtaining dialysis in his country but had to travel a long distance in order to reach the dialysis site. He came to the United States because his family is in need of money and he heard that he would be able to find a better job here.

The physician treating the patient steps out to call for the hospital medical director. The two physicians discuss the case. Amy overhears their conversation. The ED physician explains that the patient may die if he does not receive dialysis. The medical director states that the hospital is already in debt with a charity dialysis case that has cost the facility more than $100,000. If they take on another patient, it will be a huge financial burden to the hospital, which is already struggling. As their discussion ends, the ED physician returns to the patient and tells him that he will be treated for his immediate condition but that he must pursue dialysis treatment as soon as possible and discharges the patient from the ED. Amy has concerns for the patient and wonders whether the right decision has been made.
