An I.Q. Test FAIL?

A large healthcare system in Maine is apologizing, after sending letters to 531 patients in hospitals and healthcare clinics . . . telling them that they’re DEAD (???). The letters expressed condolences, and included information on how their “next of kin” could resolve their estates. A spokesperson for the company says that there was an error in its computer system that led to the mistake, and they “sincerely regret” the goof. They also wanted to assure everyone that the patients were never listed as deceased in their medical records. So I suppose they got THAT going for them. So how would YOU break it to your loved ones if something like this happened to you? “Barbara, I hate that you have to hear this from me . . . but, I’m dead.”
