The surgery meant to send patients a text wishing them Merry Christmas 😲
A Yorkshire GP surgery has apologised after it sent a text to hundreds of patients telling them they had lung cancer instead of wishing them Merry Christmas.
Property developer Chris Reed, 57, tried to phone the surgery after his partner broke down following the text but found the lines were full. They rushed to the centre and were told on arrival that the message was a mistake and his cancer results were actually negative. The text message has since been posted on social media by a number of upset patients. It read: "From the forwarded letters at CMP, Dr [name] has asked for you to do a DS1500 for the above patient. Diagnosis - Aggressive lung cancer with metastases."
Just 22 minutes after the shocking message was accidentally sent to patients, the surgery sent out another explaining that it had been circulated by mistake. In the second text, Askern Medical Practice offered its "sincere apologies" for the error and said the text should have in fact wished its patients "a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."
