medical condition as follows: A medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms
of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that the absence of immediate
medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in -- placing the health
of the individual (or, with respect to a pregnant woman, the health of the woman
or her unborn child) in serious jeopardy, serious impairment to bodily functions,
or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part, or with respect to a pregnant
woman who is having contractions -- that there is inadequate time to effect a safe
transfer to another hospital before delivery, or that the transfer may pose a threat
to the health or safety of the woman or her unborn child.
