Yes!
This is covered in this proposal:
The Pharmaceutical Accountability and Transparency Act (PATA)
I would love to include more investigative information to flesh out the problems with incentivizing, kickbacks, etc. to make the proposal more inclusive of all the problems and the necessary solutions to address those problems.

I thought about it - one of the options would be to include in a databank with medical/ hospital privileged with meds and vaccines the patient can’t have or won’t allow to get ( I. e REMDEZEVIR, C19 jab or others) in case of emergencies or unconsciousness , or an individual - relative or advocate to be contacted in cases such the above.

The ER is already covered by implied consent. It’s a well defined criteria for when you can care for a patient who is not capable of making decisions on their own behalf due to incapacitation, suicidal ideation, etc. I think more patient education needs to be offered for coherent patients though. To be fair, its harder to talk patients out of meds than it is to talk them in to it. They tend to think every feeling of discomfort is an emergency, and I blame that on our education system. You might get one semester of health class in high school, but this is the only body your ever going to have…made sure to teach trigonometry tho.
How is this already regulated? When you are in the hospital, folks come in at alk hours of the day or nicht to poke at you and do testing, frequently just duplicating services, it seems. When you get the bills later, you can see that private contracted labs came in and just duplicated tests which the hospital had alreafy done that same day. Besides, these lab technicians barely wake you up to do their job. They don’t inform you of what these tests are used for and how they are different from previous ones. And you are probably too weak to put up a fight. For the hospital, it seems simply enough thst you gave your consent to be treated, when you were admitted, and this apparently means with any and all means they choose.
When I had to go to a hospital due to a poisoning episode, no consenting papers were presented to me; I had to make it clear that NI REMDEZEVIR, NO MASKS, NO COVid TESTS WERE TO BE ADMINISTERED…
For 2 days and 2 nights, I rejected holter devices, and every now and then, some “specialist “ entered the room to ask me question - whom I thought to be part of the hospital crew - they were not, and no one informed me of that .
Rules and protocols have to be changed ASAP.
I don’t have all answers to your questions, but I hope these exchanges help us to get into a better situation.

That is what a Living Will and Advanced Directive is for. You fill it out, get it notorized and file it with your hospital or primary care doctor. Those two forms designate how far your willing to go, when to pull the plug, essentially, and what sorts of procedures you’re not willing to undergo. It also designates a Durable Power of Attorney. That person makes your medical decisions. Even if you have a POA that handles your financial decisions, a Durable overrides that in medical decisions. Handy to have if you have one kid whose an accountant and one whose a nurse.
Sorry, but I have to disagree - the living will is a direct passport for death, as well as the DNR - Also, I suggest that the organ donor status to be removed from driver’s license as well - it’s too temping for hospitals to “inactive” people for organs removal for someone else’s transplants I agree as to a permanent power of attorney.
