[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father was recently in hospice. My mother was temporarily unreachable due to her own medical situation and the facility would not speak with me until I was able to provide a copy of Dad’s medical POA that included me (as well as my mother). Not to say that others who have been informed about their relatives situations without such paperwork are wrong, but certainly some medical providers are maybe more sticklers than others. I don’t plan to risk it. [/quote] You aren't your dad's next of kin, your mom is. For an unmarried college student, it's hard to understand who else would be next of kin besides the parent. I have to think the student was conscious / able to interact with doctors and therefore no next of kin was needed - but mom wanted to know what was up anyway. Making a kid do a POA for that situation is how you get kids avoiding the hospital rather than risk parents finding out they have an std or alcohol poisoning. [/quote]
