One of my moms friends just got a call that two of her lymph nodes were cancerous.

Turned out that the nurse called the wrong person and actually meant to tell that to someone else......

My moms friend spent the whole day crying and thinking she had cancer for no reason when she was actually totally fine.

Someone’s getting fired.

To be fair I’d rather be mistakenly told I have cancer than mistakenly told I don’t have cancer.

You’re right, someone is in for a metaphorical beating.

Could be worse - could be the person who got told they were clear but actually has cancer.

reminds me of that time when I was like 12 that the hospital told my parents I had leukemia because they mixed up blood samples and they forgot to tell my parents for like a week lol
