#1 Some hospitals also require a guardian's approval before carrying out medical procedures, it said.

A sad anecdote, personally observed,...
A woman in full garb with mask (black) attended by husband and brother (tshirts, shorts, sand skimmer flipflops) during entry interview at a (wonderful) cancer treatment center was asked to bare her arm for the blood pressure cuff, then asked to remove her headgear so they could take her temp, check her eyes, etc. This little bit of cultural intrusion caused agitation in all three parties. When they were handed a cup and she was asked for a urine sample, the guys went nuts and had to be removed by Security.

True story.
