Seventy thousand operations and appointments at risk as resident doctors launch five-day strike, coinciding with flu outbreak and staff holidays.

British Medical Association accused of timing strike to maximize damage, while elderly patients face added anxiety and pain due to postponements. Resident doctors demand twenty-six percent pay raise, marking fourteenth round of strikes since March 2023, with no immediate resolution in sight.
