The hospital gets to choose whether the ER visit complexity is from 1 to 5. How is dispensing a muscle relaxant a 4? What would be an example of a 1?

Ahh, you misunderstand. The 'scale' is meaningless and only there to present a perception of judgement. They only have one to make you think that there is some decision to be made at all. It's like Uber ratings, anything less than a 5 star is a 0 star, or like TickeMaster pricing where there really was never a ticket on sale for 30$.
