That's right! Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, Indiana, (the birthplace of Knights of the Dinner Table and HackMaster -- a geek mecca) refused to treat Erin Vaught (who is legally female) who came to the ER with her wife and child to find out why she was coughing up blood!

They entered her as male, made fun of her, called her "it" and "he-she" -- before the doc said she couldn't treat her because she's transgender.
It is illegal in the United States for an ER to refuse to treat anyone.
