Man Needs Urgent Heart Surgery

Six months and counting, that's how long one elderly man, Mr. Sirjoo, has been waiting for heart surgery after being referred to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex by a private facility. Now that he's finally gotten an appointment it's been scheduled for a holiday, which means he will not be able to get the surgery on that date. He says he's been calling the hospital to rectify the problem, but with the phone lines ringing out, he turned to TV6 for assistance.
