Do Any of Your Forms Have to be Notarized?

[PitterPatter]

All of mine are from the state. However my permission to transport is not from state, I created it. Maybe I should look into that.. Now I'm worried...
Lol

Well don't get worried. Just call and ask. I know it could be raising a red flag as I have done that to myself a few times but better to get it straight now. If your monitor never asked to see it OR saw it and didn't say anything then I would think u are ok. I will cross my fingers for u!

Thanks. I'm not sure the state has any say over my transporting as they don't want to get invovled. But I will call tomorrow and ask about my transport forms.
Thanks again.

I have a feeling they were giving them a bit of flak because respiratory symptoms in pediatrics are "Priority One" meaning the preferred course of action would have been to call 911 instead of transporting POV. This is especially true if the child had a history of asthma or this was his first time having croup. The number one cause of cardiac arrest in children is respiratory arrest.

They may have been trying to convey that information and just did not do as good a job of it as they should have. It is not uncommon.

They were afraid of the liability of a bad outcome based on a signed parental note telling them to drive the child themselves...especially if the doctor who told you to do that worked within their system..IYKWIM?

I forgot to mention we live less than 1/4 of a mile from our local hospital!

are you licensed? My county provides a form for me

I can email you a copy of what they give me

I am in the process of re-registering with my county/state. But I think I mentioned in my original post that their forms are antiquated - really bad. I don't believe there are any "have to use this exact form" rules.

I googled medical treatment authorization and my state name and came up with a lot of forms that look just like mine so I think I'll just keep it as is. Rather have it notorized and not need it than not have it notorized when it should have been, you know?

Somehow got a double post

Having worked in the Emergency Medical Field for years as a Paramedic and also in the ER, I can assure you- the hospital and pre-hospital personnel will not withhold neccesary life stabilizing treatment from a child.

That being said,I be sure to include in my Emergency Form that the parents will be responsible for the charges.......... It is worded like this

I________________________ give my consent for my child listed above
(Parent’s Name Printed)

to be treated with basic first aid and CPR by the family home staff. I further understand that if the capabilities fall outside of the staff, that my child will be transported to the hospital by [Ambulance Company Name] (###-###-####). I hereby give consent for [Ambulance Company Name] and the receiving hospital staff & doctors to administer necessary emergency medical treatment for my child. Elective treatment will not be given unless I have been contacted and given consent. I understand I will be contacted immediately or as soon as possible after the incident, and be provided with an incident report. I also acknowledge that charges for emergency services from the ambulance and /or hospital will be my responsibility.

And yeah, I have parents get it notarized

None of my forms have to be notarized.

The only thing I have notarized is a power of attorney for medical care of the special dcg to take her to her cardiologist and her regular md appointments.

Since its not an emergency but sometimes they do procedures on the child such as special blood draws etc, my form has to be notarized. But it isn't the same form as emergency treatment.

If parents choose not to vaccinate, or not to disclose their vaccination status, the conscientious objection form must be notarized. Otherwise, I don't believe we need to get any of them done.
