8,000 UK patients receive message that they are dying of cancer instead of holiday greeting – By Lee Brown (New York Post) / Dec 29, 2022
Last Christmas? Oops — we meant merry Christmas!
A UK doctor’s office texted thousands of patients startling news that they were dying of “aggressive lung cancer” — when they’d just meant to wish them “a very merry Christmas.”
Askern Medical Practice in Doncaster sent the automated text on Friday, two days before Christmas, warning of “diagnosis — Aggressive lung cancer with metastases,” the BBC said.
It asked patients to fill out a form that allows people with terminal illnesses to claim benefits, leaving many who got it in tears.
