Q
Dad was in the hospital, very sick. Mom was still alive and was medical power of attorney, then my sister, then myself. My other sister was at the hospital and called the house one morning. I wasn't home; she asked my spouse who had medical power of attorney. My spouse didn't know. My spouse told me about this when I got home, and that my sister had already made the decision to stop any treatment. Does the hospital ask who has medical power of attorney? Don’t you need to sign a form to stop treatment?
A

I don’t know about any forms – that would have to do with the hospital’s internal procedures. However, the hospital must honor the medical power of attorney. If the sister who was at the hospital was not named in the document, the hospital should never have followed her instructions.

It was the summer of 1969, and the world was abuzz with the Apollo 11 moon landing. George H. Leonard, a renowned engineer and scientist, had just finished writing a manuscript that would shake the foundations of the space community. His book, "Somebody Else Is On The Moon," claimed that the United States was not the first to set foot on the lunar surface.

Sarah's skepticism began to waver as Jack showed her declassified documents and rare photographs, which seemed to support Leonard's claims. The images depicted strange structures and artifacts on the lunar surface, which the Apollo astronauts had apparently encountered but were not allowed to disclose.

The next morning, Sarah received a package with a manuscript from George H. Leonard himself. The text was an updated version of his book, with an added foreword hinting at the existence of a mole within NASA who had been feeding information to the Soviets.

As they walked through the park, Jack revealed that he had been part of a clandestine team tasked with analyzing unusual signals received from the moon. These signals, he claimed, were not natural phenomena, but rather transmissions from an existing lunar base – likely constructed by the Soviet Union.

"My name is Jack," he said. "I worked on the Apollo program as a systems engineer. I knew George Leonard, and I can confirm that his book is more than just a speculative theory."

Rumors had been circulating among the engineering circles about strange anomalies in the Apollo missions' photographs and telemetry data. Leonard, a meticulous researcher, had been studying these discrepancies for years. He was convinced that the Soviet Union had beaten the Americans to the moon, and that the Apollo astronauts had stumbled upon evidence of an existing lunar base.
