They’ll want you to sign a form saying you’re leaving AMA (against medical advice), but other than that and arguing with the nurses and doctors about leaving vs staying for treatment, they really can’t keep you… Unless you’re under arrest, which, it does not sound like you were.
In any case, it’s your life and your body, you can choose to, or refuse to, do whatever you want with it, provided that you’re not breaking any laws by doing so.
