Consent to Medical Treatment
I understand that in the event medical intervention is needed, every attempt will be made to contact immediately the persons listed on this form. In the event I cannot be reached in an emergency during this activity, I hereby give my permission to the physician or dentist selected by the activity leader to hospitalize, to secure medical  treatment and/or order an injection, anesthesia, or surgery for my child as deemed  necessary.
