COMMON MYTHS ABOUT HOSPITAL POLICIES
“I don’t need a medical power of attorney because I am married, and my spouse can always get access to my medical records.”
“I don’t need a Medical Power of Attorney because my “next of kin” is able to make decisions for me in the event something happens to me.”
“My adult child does not need a Medical Power Of Attorney, because as their parent I am able to see their records and make decisions.”
Wrong. Most of you are probably aware that your “next of kin” (a spouse, or family member), is the person that is in charge of making medical decisions for you in the event you are incapacitated; however, what you probably did not know is that as long as you are still alive, NO ONE is allowed to review your medical records. Yes, I said NO ONE, not even the person making the decision!
