A Trump supporter has complained that he was prevented from bringing a cardboard cutout of the US president into a medical centre for ‘emotional support’.
Nelson Gibson claimed the life-sized picture of Donald Trump kept him company during his three-and-a-half hour kidney dialysis treatments.
But he says that officials at the Fresenius Kidney Care facility in Port St Lucie, Florida, decided the cardboard commander-in-chief was no longer welcome.
“They told me it was too much and it wasn’t a rally,” Mr Nelson told the West Palm beach area television station.
He said that no one had objected when he started bringing a small picture of Mr Trump with him to this treatments three times a week.
“It just feels like bringing something from home to make you comfortable,” he added.
Mr Gibson said that some people even took photos with fake president.
Officials only raised the issue on Tuesday, according to the family.
“It was supposed to be an issue of safety infectious disease which made no sense,” said Mr Gibson’s son Eric.
“What I would really like to happen is for them not to infringe upon my father’s freedom of expression and speech and allow him to bring in the lifesize cardboard cutout that takes up less service area than a garbage can.”
The kidney care centre denied they were trying to stop Mr Nelson from expressing his views.
“We strongly support the ability of all our patients to express their views, which includes bringing reasonably sized items into our dialysis centres that do not create safety or infection control issues, or interfere with caregivers on the treatment floor,” said the spokesman Brad Puffer said in a statement.
The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility Elena Gorgan The idea of making something that would be halfway between a bicycle or motorcycle and a car is not new; after all, the advantages of such a vehicle would be many for a large segment of the market. In the Czech Republic, inventor, fabricator and full-time pilot Arnold Wagner has been making one such vehicle since the late ‘80s. Since 2009, with a new partner, he launched the PERAVES CZ company, and they’ve been putting out these cabin-motorcycles dubbed MonoRacer since then. They probably haven’t sold more than a couple of hundred of them (90 of which were made before the 2009 partnership), but that could change as early as this month. As it turns out, PERAVES CZ has made an electric version of the MonoRacer, called the MonoRacer 130E, and it is now in the process of receiving EU-certification. The MonoRacer 130E is an electric motorcycle with a fully enclosed cabi...
I just got an automated call this morning for my upcoming Wellness Exam; a free service the government does for older people. You get those Wellness exams once a year. I got blasted with all kinds of questions about my physical and mental health. They give you four choices to reply with, in their automated questions. I wrote them down so I could answer as they expected: Not at all Several days More than half the days Nearly everyday I think I’ve started some kind of (unwanted) ball rolling with my “nearly everyday” honest answer. For example: Do you feel depressed? My answer: Nearly everyday. Sub question: What do you feel depressed about? My answer: World affairs. Anybody who isn’t depressed about the status quo of the world isn’t all there, if you ask me, but... . That must have been the magic trigger because I got transferred to three different groups after that: a suicide prevention hotline, then psychiatric counseling, then som...
