The kid wants the surgery. His parents want him to have the surgery. His doctors want him to have the surgery. He's been through the not-easy gauntlet of psych evals and counseling. His insurance has approved the surgery. The hospital schedules the surgery...

And then Donald Trump overrules the kid, the parents, the doctors, the psych evals and counseling, the insurance company, and the hospital.
