Abstract
- Complete a medical power of attorney, which authorizes a medical power of attorney agent to make medical decisions on your behalf in the event you're not able to make your own medical decisions due to your medical distress or mental incapacity. COVID-19 has placed many families in the difficult position concerning when to "let go" of the COVID-19 patient, usually in a situation where the family cannot physically be present with the COVID-19 victim, and where the patient is beyond the point where they can assist the decision making process by providing input.
