A dialysis patient in Florida is disappointed he cannot bring a life-sized cutout of President Donald Trump to his dialysis appointments at Fresenius Kidney Care, according to local news outlet WPBF.
Nelson Gibson, a resident of Port St. Lucie, Fla., used to bring an 8- by 10-inch photo of the president to his appointments for comfort, and then began to bring a mini cardboard cutout of him standing next to President Trump, according to the report. He said staff had never complained — until he began bringing a life-sized cutout of the politician.
Mr. Gibson said staff told him "it was too much," according to the report.
A spokesperson for the facility told WPBF they allow "reasonably sized items … that do not create safety or infection control issues, or interfere with caregivers on the treatment floor."
