today in class, my teacher was saying that if a child is unconscious on the floor. and the parents said they didn't want the child to be treated. you would treat the child anyways.
why is this? because from my understanding. consent to treat a minor comes from the parents or guardian. so if the parent says they refuse treatment. then wouldn't that be the same thing as the child refusing treatment?
if some one could help me understand this. that would be great. my teacher wasn't very much help at explaining this.
