Patients Get Lung Cancer Scare in Place of Xmas Greetings From UK Doctor's Practice
🎅 Hundreds of patients at the Askern Medical Centre in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, received the terrifying text mentioning "aggressive lung cancer with metastases" — medical jargon for the disease spreading to other organs — on December 23.
Less than half an hour later, the general practice surgery sent a correction with their "sincere apologies" for the mix-up, which appeared to be an internal message sent out by mistake.
💬 "Our message to you should have read: We wish you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year," the second text said.

'The King of Football': Brazilian Legend Pelé Dead at 82 After Cancer Battle
Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé would later go on to be known as the "king of football" as a result of his athleticism and grace on the field. The Brazilian star died Thursday aged 82 after battling cancer.
Pelé started his professional career at the age of 15, after dropping out of school in the fourth grade. His father, João Ramos do Nascimento, a minor league footballer, moved the family to Brazil's Sao Paulo when Pelé was just five years old. By age 10, the soon-to-be football great began his training under Waldemar de Brito, a friend of Pelé’s father and a former member of the Brazilian national team.
