Yeah, but formula was made with corn syrup then, too.

I'd get one for medical issues, too. You never know...

At least check if it's needed. In BC now, teens can get medical care
without parental consent.

What if they're unconscious?
(Maybe then hospital defaults kick in if the parents aren't available to ask?)

Would a hospital refuse to give emergency treatment to an unconscious
minor just because there's no parental consent form?

What if they're unconscious?

Unconsciousness assumes consent.
What an awkward sentence. How about:
It is assumed that an unconsious patient would give consent.

Not unless they don't want to be a hospital anymore! LOL

Minors have always been able to get care for something life-threatening
without consent, the same as an unconscious adult would be treated. But I
remember years ago in California when my friend couldn't even get pain
killers for a broken leg until her parents had been contacted, and they
were at a remote cabin at the time.
