Jason Bundhoo is a 42-year-old car driver from Triolet. He lives in a private apartment, with his partner, Jane, and their 25-year-old son, George. Jason left school at the age of fifteen and undertook several occupations before taking up Grab car driving.

His father died at the age of 67 due to cardiac complications following a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) surgery. His mother died at the age of 51 from metastatic ovarian cancer. After his parents’ deaths, Jason had to take out a substantial mortgage to buy out his sister from her share of their parents’ apartment.

Jane has been working as an accountant in a large firm. Unfortunately, she was made redundant last year when the company’s income declined. She has been unable to find another job until now. Jane has been diagnosed with depression by their local doctor and is taking medications for this.

Jason recently suffered a Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) and has been discharged home from the large acute hospital. He said that during this hospitalization, he was found to have an undiagnosed ongoing irregular rhythm of the upper chambers of his heart and so he was started on Digoxin tablets. He weighs 115 kg and his height is 1.65 meters.
