Traveling alone, risk of surgery too great to take on.
The last and largest/most modern hospital in Rishikesh agreed to do the surgery, provided the US Embassy signed off on it, or a family member was present. The latter wasn't possible, and neither was the former ("we don't authorize surgery for our citizens").
