Claim on your travel insurance, you will a need medical certificate.

Very few credit cards cover this sort of eventuality - those that do provide a separate travel insurance policy on which you claim.

Sounds like someone has generalised from:

if the airline goes bust you can claim on your credit card

to - if there are any problems of any sort connected with your flight you can claim on your credit card.

Oh, bad luck, what bad timing!
Claim on your travel insurance, you will need to get a certificate from your doctor to say you cannot fly for medical resons.
