Sorry, you're incorrect. I have heard of PoA, since my father is an A and I hold one for both him and my mother: a health care PoA. If I were not their son, the PoA would let me tell the doctor what to do, but it would not compel the doctor or the hospital administrators to let me in the room. As I had already stated. Go to law school, then come back and talk.
