Missed approach procedure USA ops

Hello,

Question for US ATC members reading this forum. Was told by a friend of a friend (ex-Speedbird 25 year veteran) that in the states, when you are cleared to land after another aircraft in front of you, if you have to do a go-around, you don't follow the published missed approach procedure but instead you fly runway heading to 1500' (the height is debatable cause i can't really remember the height he mentioned). Is this true? I can't find anything to this effect in the Jepps. He also said that this is what Speedbird 'teaches'.
Any BA drivers (or the USA tin pushers) care to elaborate?
Thanks.
Green...out.
