Going to ER without passport?

has anyone had to go to the emergency room while their passport was in the hands of the home office waiting for FLR?  i haven't registered with my local dr. quite yet.....but even if i had, isn't the emergency room a bit different? 

i'm sure they won't turn me away should i have to go....but i'm wondering if i will end up having to pay... 

They won't turn you away & you won't have to pay
I had to go when I was on my fiance visa & they didn't even ask for any id

I went when I was only here visiting.  I didn't have to show them any ID, nor would they accept any kind of payment from me.

i went to the er here b/f i had a GP.  didn't ask to see my passport.  i did have a uk address to put on the forms though.

My friends who visited us in November went because he had left his insulin at home.     He saw a doctor, got a new prescription, took it to Boots, and got it filled - all without any cost to him.  He did have to give our UK address since he was staying with us but that was it.  Amazing!  I kept thinking it's my tax pounds/NI contributions that are paying for his forgetfulness...

I had to visit the emergency room our second night here!     Packed a pot, a spoon, and a brand new knife to cook with while waiting for our moving truck to arrive.  The new knife was a little too sharp and I almost lost the tip of my finger.  We got to meet our new neighbors by saying, "Hi!  Nice to meet you!  Where's the nearest hospital?"  Needless to say, I was not registered with a GP yet, could barely remember my new address, and didn't think to bring along my passport.  It was no problem at all, they didn't even care that I didn't know my address or postal code.
