How would they know 100% it's you on the other end?

I wanna say my wife had some paperwork done when our kid went to college, not sure if it was medical power of attorney or what. An attorney friend of hers recommended in case they get injured and unable to speak in a hospital; I'm not sure if the hospital can give you info about them because of HIPPA laws if they are over 18.

WTF? That sounds like emergency medical treatment, nobody is calling anyone if your kid is choking on his own vomit, they're fixing the problem. Your kid may have signed permission for you to be given details from the student health center. Since he's 18, if the kid sought medical treatment, it's not really your business, and no one other than your kid would be asking for your permission anyway.
