Doctors' strike on Mallorca: Who gets left behind?

Answer

Are emergency departments in Mallorca more crowded during a doctors’ strike?

Yes, a strike can increase pressure on emergency departments because patients whose routine appointments are canceled may seek help elsewhere. That does not mean every case should go to emergency care, but delays in planned treatment can push more people toward urgent services.
