[quote=Anonymous]We used to take friends with us on vacations every year starting in elementary school—2.5 hour drive to ski or 1.5 drive to the beach—and my mom (a nurse) always asked our friend’s parents to write a note granting her permission to sign off on urgent medical decisions in case anything happened. When I was 14 it was put to use unexpectedly: before even leaving town for one of our trips our car was t-boned at an intersection and totaled. We were all okay but there was a large emergency response and the ambulance wanted my friend’s parents to come down to the accident scene and sign off that she didn’t need treatment. My mom whipped out the letter— which the paramedic thought was just the craziest thing ever since we still local—but accepted it as sufficient and left. So they do work and are useful![/quote]
