The opinion

Judge Greene

dissenting.

In this case, there is uncontradicted evidence that Randy did not receive certain tests recommended by the emergency room doctor. This evidence presents a genuine issue of fact as to whether Randy was provided an “appropriate screening examination,” as required by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), 42 U.S.C. § 1395dd (Supp. 1998). I, therefore, would reverse summary judgment for the defendant hospital and remand.
