I would think if someone walks into an emergency room with chest pains, they would run some tests to determine if there was an issue. If it were serious, you would most likely get admitted, or a referral to speed things up. Might not be the top cardiologist, but better than nothing.
And they are obligated to uphold the hippocratic oath, which according the the internet in its original form is...
I swear by Apollo Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture.
Probably not as good as the Dalai Lama, but at least you've got that going for you.
