If you are unconscious and in a hospital, who will
decide the medical care you will receive?
Typically, next of kin would serve in that role. But
what if there is a difference of opinion among your loved ones? Who will then
make the decision? If you have not made a selection of a representative or
there is a conflict among your next of kin, the realistic answer is that the
doctors will. You can avoid this result by signing a Health Care Power of
Attorney which appoints individuals in the order of your choosing to make
health care decisions on your behalf.
