So the procedure she needed was unambiguously legal, and the government even issued official guidance covering this exact scenario, but the hospital staff didn't want to do it anyway? This seems like 0% an issue with the law and 100% an issue with the hospital staff.

It's known as a "chilling effect" of the law. For a professional it just isn't worth your time to get into nuance, the finer points of the law, or "guidance" when your license / livelihood is on the line. There is a similar problem with prohibition and treating pain or whole classes of conditions that lead to chronic pain; many people are needlessly suffering because doctors are concerned with losing their license to prescribe.
