[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We used Mama Bear for each kid (but didn't pay full price, there are coupons available).

For those shunning the idea, I hope it's never your kid unconscious in the hospital, and you are across the country. [/quote]

What does being across the country have to do with anything.

You are still next of kin and they will talk to you without a stupid form

The helicoptering and anxiety is out of control [/quote]

This. I am a physician and did not get POA or HIPAA waiver for either of my adult children. Doctors make the medically appropriate decision if the patient cannot consent to treatment in an emergency. IF my spouse were unconscious in a hospital they would provide the correct medical care/surgery/etc to them and eventually find me as next of kin and update me. That is how health care works in emergent situations when the patient cannot give consent. I trust the system to work for my kids as well. 
When my kids have been in semi-urgent medical situations, guess what they have involved me and asked what to do, IF they did not already know what to do to get assessed by the health care system on campus.

I’m a physician too and i feel the reverse-ideally it works how you describe but I have seen it not work out that way at all. [/quote]
