SUMMARY - Surgical Wait Lists

A woman waits for knee replacement surgery, the joint pain limiting her mobility, her quality of life diminishing with each month of waiting. She was told the wait would be months; it has become a year. An elderly man waits for cataract surgery, his vision declining, his independence shrinking, the driving he relied on no longer safe. A cancer patient waits for surgery that was supposed to be urgent, the wait time for "urgent" cases somehow still measured in weeks.
