A Patient Is Banned From Using 'Emotional Support' Trump Cut-Out
A Patient Is Banned From Using 'Emotional Support' Trump Cut-Out

A Florida man is speaking out after his dialysis center banned him from bringing a highly unorthodox guest into his treatments.

Nelson Gibson has been receiving dialysis treatments from Fresenius Kidney Care in Port St.

Lucie.

The center told the 59-year-old he could not come in with his “emotional support” companion — a life-sized cut-out of President Donald Trump.

Trump signed an executive order in July requiring the government to work harder in creating and spreading awareness about kidney diseases.

Gibson kept a smaller cut-out of the president by his side during every treatment, but recently decided to upgrade to a full-scale option.

A spokesman for the clinic said that patients are welcome to bring “reasonably sized items".

But not those that “create safety or infection control issues, or interfere with caregivers on the treatment floor”.

Gibson thinks the center’s policy is hypocritical.

He’s refusing to return for his three-times-per-week treatments.

He says he will now have to find a new clinic
