TO ALL PARENTS – FOR THE THIRD TIME IN JUST OVER 2 YEARS I HAVE FACED THE FOLLOWING SCENARIO:
AN ADULT CHILD (AGE 18 OR OVER) – YES THEY ARE YOUR CHILD, BUT YES THEY ARE AN ADULT IN THE EYES OF THE LAW –
HAS A PSYCHIATRIC BREAK AND IS HOSPITALIZED UNDER A PROTECTIVE MENTAL HEALTH WARRANT (THEY ARE A DANGER TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS).
THE ADULT CHILD/PATIENT DIRECTS THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND COURT APPOINTED LAWYER FOR THE ADULT CHILD NOT TO SPEAK WITH THE PARENT(S).
BOTH THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES ARE PROHIBITED FROM EVEN DISCOVERING THE DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT PLAN OR ANY OTHER DETAIL CONCERNING THEIR CHILD WHO IS AN ADULT.
THE SAME CHALLENGE HAS ALSO RESULTED WHEN AN ADULT CHILD HAS AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT AND IS UNCONSCIOUS OR UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY WITH THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS OR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES.
ACT TODAY !!!!! GET A MEDICAL POWER OF ATTORNEY AND PARALLEL HIPAA RELEASE. THESE DOCUMENTS CAN ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK WITH THE DOCTORS AND OTHER MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, AND PREVENT THE NEED FOR AN EMERGENCY APPLICATION FOR A GUARDIANSHIP FOR YOUR ADULT CHILD.
NOTE: IN ADDITION TO THE APOPLEXY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR ADULT CHILD, THEIR MEDICAL TREATMENT TEAM AND/OR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE, THE COSTS OF A TEMPORARY GUARDIANSHIP RANGE FROM $ 5,000.00 – $10,000.00 JUST TO START THE PROCESS, AND GO UP FROM THERE.
I CAN NOT EMPHASIZE, ACT NOW !!!
