They might not turn you away, but they’ll definitely ask for a credit card while you’re lying their nearly dying, and then send you a bill that will bankrupt you. When this happened to me I had suicidal ideation for a while after, as much as I’d like to not admit it.
An ER doctor friend of mine at a large hospital in NYC told me after I had a medical emergency that you should always leave your wallet at home and leave a fake name and address if you’re uninsured. They’ll give you care and then you won’t have to pay. He said as a doctor he’s going to save you no matter what.
