Going to the ER isn't being hospitalized.

And if you show up to the ER they don't send you to a hospital bed, they don't have hospital beds to give out like candy these days. Even if you have a suspected heart attack (based on cardiac enzymes in your blood not just clutching at your chest acting like you're in a stage play) then you're still going to be waiting hours for a bed to open up. Someone with the sniffles isn't ever getting close to a bed.
