If Stryker isn’t able to get order processing working quickly (and I believe they are hand evaluating post attack orders at this time), some hospitals will be putting off elective surgery and possibly even less critic surgeries until alternative suppliers can be found (which isn’t always simple).

Fuck. I have surgery scheduled in a month. It's actually quality of life improving surgery I'm looking forward to as well.

For those of us ignorant of Stryker as a company, would this situation apply globably or would certain regions be more likely to be affected than others in this particular regard?
