I don't think HIPAA will prevent you from having his medical power of attorney -- if it's what your friend wants, and he is able to sign such paperwork "in sound mind".

Sam, I'm sorry for your situation. It's amazingly good of you to come through for your friend; I hope he knows how lucky he is to have a friend like you.
