It is stupid as shit. Wear it. Tell them you are wearing it under protest and why.
Get your surgery.
This may not be the hill to die on.
There will be others.
I had to go see my doctor earlier this week and they would not see me without a mask. So I wore my mask that says "this mask is useless". I also wouldn't let them aim their temperature gun at my head. When the doctor came in he noted that my heart rate and blood pressure were elevated. I told him of course it is because I'm wearing a mask and I'm angry about it! Ultimately I had to suck it up and do this otherwise I couldn't get my medication. But at least they know where I stand. I had tried to find another doctor, it's a specialist, anywhere within 50 miles but they all have mask policies.
