In general, you're allowed to refuse treatment. That's bodily autonomy in action.
They'll want you to sign a form saying you're leaving AMA (against medical advice), but other than that and arguing with the nurses and doctors about leaving vs staying for treatment, they really can't keep you.... Unless you're under arrest, which, it does not sound like you were.
In any case, it's your life and your body, you can choose to, or refuse to, do whatever you want with it, provided that you're not breaking any laws by doing so.
I mean I believe you but the nurse told me I wasn’t allowed to leave so.
It's not a prison.
That nurse is probably just bad at their job.
Bodily autonomy? In the US?
Friend, your body belongs to the state, which belongs to the corporations. That’s called freedom.
So glad I don't live there.
