Emergency Medical Care or Treatment means care or treatment for injury or acute illness, disease or condition, delay of which, within a reasonable degree of medical certainty, would endanger the health or physical well-being of the patient. Licensed physicians, osteopathic physicians, emergency medical technicians and paramedics specified in section 743.064, Florida Statutes, are authorized to provide such treatment to a minor without parental consent if the minor is unable to name his parents or the parents cannot be immediately located by telephone. When applied to the administration of psychotropic medications, these medications may be provided prior to express and informed parental consent or authorization by order of the court, only under the circumstances outlined in s. 39.407(e), F.S., either when a child is an in-patient in a hospital, crisis stabilization unit, of psychiatric inpatient treatment program, or when the prescribing physician certifies in the required signed medical report that delay in providing the medication would more likely than not cause significant harm to the child.
