Cancer Selfies

How was your visit with the Cancer Centre?

Customer service questionnaires have gone too far 😛 How do they want me to answer this, 10/10 would be told I have cancer again?

(this is a joke, I'm delighted by the absurdity, you can be too)

A screenshot of an email, asking the reciever to give custmer feedback for their recent trip to the cancer centre


From the comments

James Petrosky: Really tho so far the Barrie cancer center seems great, it's just maybe wait more than 24 hours (not even a business day) before asking

Kate: I got a bunch of emails and texts like that for the surgery I had in 20xx too. Like...what was I supposed to say? "As far as being cut in half goes, it wasn't too bad!" (That's a moderate exaggeration, I was probably temporarily disemboweled though.)

Robert: Kate "They managed to fit all my guts back into my body cavity!"
James Petrosky: Robert "no spare parts 👍"
James Petrosky: Although if I get surgery I hope there are spare parts 😛

Cindy: I was always annoyed to get such type of survey things from the hospital my mom was going to. A survey is not my priority!

James Petrosky: Cindy yeah it's one thing now when I can still joke about it, but I will be frustrated, annoyed and hurt when I get one in six months time and I just want to forget the whole experience.

Ron: It's good they solicit feedback in many ways. But this shit always feels like marketing.

James Petrosky: Ron if they asked after my fifth chemo treatment, they could probably expect a non emotional answer. But literally 24 hours after learning exactly how bad it is and how fast treatment is starting? Wild
Ron: James Petrosky Yeah, they need to bake a little tact into their automated systems, give the doctors a way to enter a "gingerness" factor during the appointment.

Sarah: That's wild! 🤦🏻‍♀️
