A brain tumor patient in Britain has lived with a hole in his head for 10 months, after the National Health Service cancelled three successive operations. Steve Taylor, 40, first went under the knife to remove a life-threatening growth last December and had a second operation a month later when surgeons took away part of his skull to treat an infection, leaving Taylor with a 1 1/2 inch-long hole. A third operation to close the hole was postponed due to a high number of emergency patients. Taylor, from Packmoor, near Stoke-on-Trent, said: “I just want to get it over with so I can get on with my life.” [Source] [BJS]
