If you and your spouse/partner are away on a
vacation, or business trip (or perhaps a job hunting trip)

authorized to take your child to a doctor and make emergency medical

they and the doctors can appropriately help.
What decisions should you make.
Who should be named as agent.
What decisions should they make or not make.
What other steps to take.
List any key medical issues and information in the
form.
If your child has a medical problem, drug use, or
other issue, disclose it.
