"Askern Medical Practice in the U.K. has apologized after texting thousands of patients to let them know they had “aggressive lung cancer with metastases” two days before Christmas.
Askern Medical Practice is a surgery center in Doncaster. On December 23, it texted its patients with an unusual request to fill out a DS1500 form. It’s a form that allows patients with terminal conditions to claim benefits quickly. “Diagnosis—aggressive lung cancer with metastases,” the message said. According to the BBC, Askern has around 8,000 patients.
The message was a mistake and the surgery center texted out an apology directly about an hour after the lung cancer message. According to the text, the surgery center meant to wish its patients well over the holidays."
