The hospital doesn't get to keep the baby as collateral like a title loan place.

Nah, this looks like CPS took the baby away from the mother right after he was born, and so the parents took the baby back and ran.

CPS loves to take White babies because they can sell them. Nobody will buy the black or brown ones.
It happened to my wife and I two out of three deliveries. They threatened to call cps. In one instance when I went lawyer, they isolated my wife to ask her if I was abusive. She told them to fuck off. (I'm nice af to my wife btw).

I then went lawyer about their tactics and got my child and wife discharged immediately. I'm just glad my wife is savvy enough to play the game. I acquired discharge in the other case as well.

Nonetheless, this is common. I feel bad for laymen who don't know how to bait the doctors into fucking up, so you can make them sweat. Doctors are deathly afraid of malpractice, losing their licenses, etc as covid showed.
It doesn't matter. They'd just say that without discharge, the child wasn't cleared to leave. That's why I pushed in both cases.... "what's the medical reason the child can't be discharged." They usually say "were waiting to see...." in which case you ask "see what? Name a specific condition which requires current hospitalization or is likely to result in a life threatening emergency requiring immediate care in the next few hours (and in the first case... if it's so important, why isn't anyone on staff to provide care in such an emergency).

Like I said, in most cases they're trying to increase billing and can't give real justifications.

In the end you say, so you can't give me any medical justification for refusing discharge, so you must discharge. If you don't, there are remedies and you're not going to like them.
Doctors and lawyers approach matter completely differently.

The lawyer can think his clients an idiot, but the job is to find every rule and argument and tactic that facilitates the client's goal. The client chooses what he wants, the lawyer is a means.

A doctor chooses the ends and the means. He thinks you're an idiot and he knows best. So yeah... he's just an administrator, and you're not human. You're just a chart and tests.
The whole "no more secrets" thing re the other thread is going to eventually ๐Ÿ’€ the medical profession.

That and also the fact that ChatGPT can already do what they do, but better, and the only reason they're still here is institutional / cultural momentum.
