Consent for Medication Treatment. The law requires parental permission for medical or surgical treatment of a minor. The hospitals in our area have a similar requirement, relative to admission and treatment. In an emergency, if such treatment becomes necessary, every effort will be made to obtain your consent before treatment. In the event that you are temporarily unavailable, your prior consent to treatment is important to avoid unnecessary delay. However, no surgical procedure will be performed without your knowledge and consent, with the exception of a lifesaving emergency. I understand the considerations set forth above, and hereby consent to and authorize any physician and any hospital involved to perform such emergency medical or surgical treatments as may be deemed necessary for my son / daughter. Please type your name and date if you are in agreement. *
