A colossal stuff up. Those poor people.

> One patient said she was “shaking and close to tears” after reading the text message.  
>  
> \[…\] Thousands of patients at a British medical clinic received some horrific news just before Christmas when they were told via text that they had aggressive [lung cancer](https://www.huffpost.com/topic/lung-cancer?ref=goodoil.news).  
>  
> But the messages from the Askern Medical Practice in Doncaster, England, turned out to be a mistake.  
>  
> “Please accept our sincere apologies for the previous text message sent,” the clinic said in a follow-up, [according to NPR](https://www.npr.org/2022/12/29/1146070117/a-u-k-medical-office-mistakenly-sent-patients-a-text-message-with-a-cancer-diagn?ref=goodoil.news). “This has been sent in error. Our message to you should have read We wish you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.”
