Advanced Directives ?

A friend and I were talking about Advanced Directives. Obviously, we both signed them long ago, but in a case where the doctor's office is closed, hospital closed, etc., how do they obtain that info on relatively short notice?
I told her I wasn't really sure, so would ask y'all. We both realize that anytime a procedure or surgery is done we sign it again (don't we?!), but in a case where it's been a long time, it seemed like a good thing to know.
Thanks!

Depends how advanced it is, but
soaking the foot is a first step. Then the skin may be soft enough to push down to see if there is a spike of nail growing into the skin. I think they call these spicules. They are hard to see, but using a metal nail file and pressing the skin down, they can often be detected and removed. File it off if possible, attempting not to cut the skin.
I once had one when I was a child that I had to see the pediatrician for. I think it had to be drained and everything, which didn't cause much pain since it itched a lot. But I had to elevate my foot and got to stay home from school. Loved it.
I never had a child in advanced classes, but IMO if she
the rush? Let her drop it, 9th grade taking a 12th grade class? there is no shame in taking later IMO. I think sometimes parents and the kids themselves push to hard to advance the child before they are ready.
Advanced Practice Registered Nurse - not sure about BC?

That's the way the advanced classes are run here in New York State
She took 9th grade classes last year and she's taking 10th grade classes this year with the exception of the science classes where they bump you up to 12th grade. She's also taking geometry and loves it so far. (As the school year goes on things may change).
