I did it one time years ago in another state. Have things changed and they have some way to keep you from leaving?

I did that once. I told them I was leaving and they said that I would be leaving against medical advice. I was then told that I had to sign some papers absolving them of responsibility.
I told them that I'm not signing anything and walked out. A nurse tried to stop me and I asked if she'd like to be reported for kidnapping. She got out of my way and I left. Never heard from them again.
