A medical power of attorney assigns a trusted individual to make medical decisions on your behalf in the event that you are no longer capable of making your own medical decisions. A physician must certify incompetence before the medical POA can start making healthcare decisions. However, if you object to the treatment, whether incompetent or not, physicians cannot provide the treatment.
