permission for caregiver to get Nora medical care

does someone have a document that you can print and sign that will allow a caregiver/family member to get medical care for your DC in your absence?  Nora is going to be staying with the in-laws this weekend and MIL mentioned that we should have some sort of documentation that would allow Nora to receive medical care with them while we are gone.  I thought I remembered Evans having something like this.  Anyone have a copy or know what I need to provide?  TIA!

    You can always just type out something and then have it notarized. It becomes a legal document once your signature is notarized on it.

    I couldn't find anything, but did notice several health care providers had something similar, so maybe check with your health care provider and see if they have a form already? I did see a good point as well though...make sure included with your form is a copy of the insurance card front and back as well.

    Let me know if you find one, I'd love to have a copy handy as well. Good planning! GL!

    My pedi had a form we used.  I just had it notarized and gave it to my mom with a copy of our insurance card.  It's good to have on hand, my mom had to take Eli to the ER once and it made things so much easier!

    Notarizing something does not make it legal.  It just means that a notary witnessed the person signing the document and was satisfied that the person proved who they were by presenting evidence (i.e. driver's license).  It in no way has anything to do with the legality of the document itself.  That's a big misconception about notarization. 

    I have something on my system at work that I've drafted for clients that are going out of town.  If you want me to send it to you, let me know.

    I'm not sure that you need a document like that, though I guess it's good to have. Hospitals can get a telephone consent. We do it in the ER I work in-not a big deal-we just call the parent, 2 nurses speak with them to confirm the permission. If you will be able to be reached by phone, you can do that. HTH!

    ETA: wanted to add that if it's truly an emergency, like the child cannot breathe, etc-we would not wait to reach a parent to treat them. It would fall under emergent or implied consent.
