Just a couple days after inviting a Saskatchewan resident to the Legislature, NDP Leader Ryan Meili did it again.

This time he invited Jessie Eide who had a surgery cancelled to help her with varicose veins.

Eide said things have only gotten worse since the surgery has been cancelled.

“It causes weakness in my legs, a lot of pressure build up, which hurts. I don’t sleep well at night. I just struggle to function on a daily basis.”

The Health Minister said he had heard about plenty of situations just like Eide’s. Paul Merriman says, “We had to make some very challenging, difficult decisions. And as I said, I didn’t wanna make those decisions but we had to because of the people who were mostly unvaccinated. I was informed last week that there was no critical surgeries that were paused or cancelled last week.”

Merriman added that he is going to get his staff to follow up with Edie.   (CKRM)
