{{Dial-A-Law Blurb}}

Do you have the right to refuse medical care? Who and what allows doctors to treat you if you’re unconscious or unable to indicate what medical treatment you want? The answers to these and other questions are in a BC law called the ''Health Care (Consent) and Care Facility (Admission) Act'' (available at [http://www.bclaws.ca www.bclaws.ca]). This law was amended on September 1, 2011.
