    U.K. medical practice mistakenly texts patients they have "aggressive lung cancer" instead of wishing them a merry Christmas

    How horrible! I can't even imagine how I would feel if I got that text. I want to know how it happened because I don't understand how someone could do this as a mistake.

    I really hope that's not how they inform patients who DO have cancer.

    That is disgusting. Not only is it deplorable to notify someone they have cancer via text, but to do so to thousands of patients needlessly right before Christmas is horrible.
