Left in limbo after operation cancelled

A GRANDMOTHER who has been in agony for four years with a shoulder problem was left distraught yesterday after her operation was cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice.

Civil servant Christine Koshy, pictured, said she has been waiting for four months for an operation to cure a problem she has had since 2009.

'I want it done so badly that I offered to pay for it privately but I was told they still couldn't do it.'

An HSSD spokesman said that there had been several emergency admissions over the weekend and on Monday, which had resulted in the cancellation of one operation scheduled for today.
