The medical care one depends on agency of the individual, if it is an emergency and, if an adult, has a DNR or living will. Generally, adults can refuse care but the hospital/doctor/medical group will take the parent(s) to court for the benefit of a child. You see this from time to time when parents try to claim a non-medical exemption.

If their client is unconscious and unable to communicate their wishes or is a child, then by all means let the lawyer use their own best judgement, but when the client is an adult who has been judged mentally competent, letting the lawyer override their client's express wishes is a disgusting infringement on their rights.
