Strike Causes Surgery Delay for Patient Waiting for Gastric Bypass

A doctor strike is causing delays in hospitals. One patient, Tom Lawson, is waiting for gastric bypass surgery. He has already waited for more than three years. Now the strike adds more time. This makes him worry a lot. He says the delay is hard because he needs the operation to help his health. The strike means doctors cannot work as usual, so planned surgeries are postponed. Tom’s surgery is not happening yet, and he must wait longer.
