Instructions for medical treatment have to come from either a legal spouse, or a family member. They cannot come from the significant other, regardless of sexual preference or gender, unless a formal power of attorney for medical treatment has been granted that person. If the patient is unable to give consent, doctors will perform treatment without this consent only the extent required to preserve the well being of the patient. To do otherwise opens them to all kinds of legal mess. ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
