It was medically required because that's what the kid identified as. When I was a kid, I identified as Superman. I'm glad that my parents didn't allow me to jump out of a tall building.
I'M SO PROUD OF MY 7 YEAR OLD SON; HE CAME OUT AS A PIRATE; I'VE KNOWN SINCE HE WAS 2; THE HOSPITAL AGREED TO TAKE OUT ONE EYE FOR HIS PATCH; CUT OFF ONE HAND FOR HIS HOOK; AND ONE LEG FOR HIS PEGLEG; HIS PRO NOUNS ARE "ARGH" AND "AR"; IT WAS HIS CHOICE
