It probably depends on the state and the situation somewhat. However, usually if the doctor has permission from one legal guardian (it doesn't need to be both), they can administer meds. Also, in emergency situations where the patient is considered to be at imminent risk of hurting themselves or others, meds may also be administered without any consent (until the crisis abates). Finally, if the minor is emancipated, only their consent is needed.
