A WOMAN has less than 90 days until her heart stops after a succession of cancelled operations.
Last year, three scheduled operations to replace Pamela MacPherson's heart pacemaker were cancelled at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Another two for the Golden Jubilee hospital in Clydebank were also called off.
Her pacemaker is now perilously close to shutting down and she said: "If I don't get it changed within 90 days, I could collapse." Scottish Lib Dem leader Alex Cole-Hamilton called for her to get her op urgently.
He said: "If I was an NHS health boss, I'd be crawling over broken glass to get this woman seen immediately.
Pamela, 48, has needed a pacemaker to keep her heart beating properly after it stopped 42 times when she was just a few months old.
