Hospital Tells Elderly Men They're Pregnant

The Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Royal Hospital admitted on 10 Jan that it had mistakenly sent computer generated letters to 30 patients, including six elderly men, telling them they were pregnant. The system operator was blamed for choosing the wrong option (instead of informing them that their operations had been postponed). [Reuters, Oddly Enough News: 10 Jan 2002, PGN-ed]
