A patient sent home in unstable condition or sent to a hospital that doesn't have the facilities to treat their condition could have legal recourse under EMTALA.

Heterophony is often a characteristic feature of non-Western traditional musicsâfor example Arabic classical music, Japanese Gagaku, the gamelan music of Indonesia, kulintang ensembles of the Philippines and the traditional music of Thailand. In European traditions, there are only few examples of heterophony.
Polyphonic music can be composed for voice, instruments, or both, and compositions may have just two or many melodies. The melodies may also periodically converge before diverging again to create more texture. Homophonic music is probably the oldest type of music, since it is the most simple to compose and perform.
