It is not legal for anyone to deny emergency healthcare treatment. Write to the court which awarded the guardianship and ask to have the guardian removed.

This is general information. It cannot substitute for a personal consultation with an attorney. It is not intended to be legal advice or imply an attorney-client relationship.
