[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s a next of kin or after the person’s death situation. I think it’s if the person is still alive and the parents have no right to their medical information once they turn 18.

Same with school grades, the college can automatically give you their grades. The kid has to give you access to the grades.

All I know is I just didn’t wanna question it that much so I just did it, especially because my kid was going to school out of state    [/quote]

OR I'm doing it too - I just can't imagine if my kid had alcohol poisoning this is something a hospital wouldn't disclose. OR keep me up to date on treatment etc.  "We have your kid here but we can't say why", is not a thing I ever heard on ER.[/quote]

If your adult child is in serious distress they are going to treat him - they don't stop to call anybody first.

If your child was brought in by a friend with your info or has some kind of emergency contact card on him AND is unconscious, they will try to contact next of kin. As next of kin, you get the info necessary to make decisions because your child cannot.

If your adult child is conscious and talking, he makes the decision whether to call you.

So an adult that gets their stomach pumped and then hangs out at the hospital for monitoring does not need the hospital to contact anybody. And they won't.  [/quote]
