LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR SECTION 16 REPORTING OBLIGATIONS


         I hereby constitute and appoint each of Michael G. Stewart and Philip
Summerlin, signing individually, as my true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

         1.       execute, for and on my behalf, in my capacity as an officer
                  and/or director of Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the
                  "Company"), Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a)
                  of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the related rules;
         2.       perform any acts on my behalf which may be necessary or
                  desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5 and
                  to file such forms with the Securities and Exchange
                  Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority; and
         3.       take any other action in connection with the foregoing which,
                  in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to
                  me, in my best interest, or legally required, it being
                  understood that the documents executed by such
                  attorney-in-fact on my behalf pursuant to this power of
                  attorney shall be in such form and contain such terms and
                  conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
                  attorney-in-fact's discretion.

         I hereby grant to each such attorney-in-fact full power and authority
to perform any act necessary or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the
rights and powers granted in this power of attorney, as fully as I could do if
personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby
ratifying and confirming all that such attorneys-in-fact, or their substitutes,
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this power of attorney and the
rights and powers granted in this power of attorney. I acknowledge that the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at my request, are not
assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of my responsibilities to comply
with Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. This power of
attorney shall remain in full force and effect until I am no longer required to
file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to my holdings of and transactions in the
Company's securities, unless I revoke it earlier in a signed writing delivered
to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this power of attorney this 26th
day of February, 2007.
