Original Toronto Star caption: A father's gift to help son live, Arthur Loach, 49, left, had hoped to donate a kidney to maintain the life of his son, 22, but their plans for the operation have been delayed by strike of employees at Toronto Western Hospital. The Loach case has drawn a scathing response from a nurse at the hospital who criticizes the illegal strike as dangerous behavior.
