What if the hospital needs the signature of family members and can't find it?
Legal analysis: legally speaking, the consent form of operation, anesthesia and power of attorney can be signed by the patient himself, but in practice, the hospital often requires the patient himself and his close relatives to sign the consent form of operation and anesthesia. The main purpose of the hospital is to avoid the risks that may be brought by the operation, and to prevent the troubles and disputes that the unpredictable risks in the operation may bring to the hospital and medical staff.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
