In regards to your health status, you can designate a Health Care
Surrogate, or Power of Attorney for Health Care. It does not have to
be a relative, but does have to be notarized. Usually that precludes
the 'next of kin' call. Instead they call your HCS. Your HCS can be
a friend you trust, your spouse, or a family member, or an adult
child. Just remember whomever you designate must be someone you
trust, and must know your wishes in an emergency. Hope this helped.

sad? sheesh. I can't say enough how much this information helps. thank you
