Oops... sent you the wrong mail....

A Text? šŸ˜± Is that how they give people a diagnosis of aggressive lung cancer.

Iā€™m not sure Iā€™d be even reading a second text after the first one, since Iā€™d be a puddle on the floor.

One text to increase your heart rate, one to return it to it's normal rhythm. Gotta love the ability of the internet & the communication tool of email.
 
Back in the 80s, the elderly father-in-law of a friend of a friend got a call from the doctor after his yearly checkup telling him that the results were good and that he was in good health. The next day, the doc calls and tells him there had been a mistake, his chart had gotten mixed up with another guy's and that he had cancer and needed to come in and see the doc right away. Then! A few hours later, the doc calls again and tells him that the first results were the correct ones after all, that he was fine. Bad enough for the FIL, but I've always thought about the other guy: first he's told he's got cancer; oh, wait, no you don't, you're fine; oh wait we were right the first time, you've got cancer after all. o_O

Yea that would be an eye opener. Bad news-good news ~bad news-good news . o_O

Over the several years when I was being screened for Cirrhosis(due to hep C), Fibrosis, possible liver cancer the ultra-sound exams were detecting "something", but my gastroenterologist couldn't determine exactly what. I got messages like "you have some cirrhosis", "not sure, may have some fibrosis", "well, we're keeping watch for cancer" etc. Once they did a Fibroscan the final letter I got was "no cirrhosis, no sign of cancer, you're good". <whew>

I remember when a bank loan dept was getting the system set up, they did a "Letter" to show how everything could be done. It read in part "You've taken out loans for a car, house and vacation, why not hock your soul for some needed cash?"

They forgot to erase it and many customers got that letter.
