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.
