The Examiner reports:
The nation's largest emergency physicians group blasted the University of Chicago Medical Center on Thursday in the wake of a recent newspaper story about a boy attacked by a pit bull who was sent away with only a shot and painkillers.
The American College of Emergency Physicians said the Chicago hospital, where first lady Michelle Obama once worked, is dangerously close to "patient dumping," an illegal practice under federal law.

Michelle Obama -- currently on unpaid leave from her $317,000-a-year job as a vice president of the prestigious hospital -- helped create the program, which aims to find neighborhood doctors for low-income people who were flooding the emergency room for basic treatment. Hospital officials say such patients hinder their ability to focus on more critically ill patients in need of specialized care, such as cancer treatment and organ transplants.
She was paid quite well.
