May I respectfully request you refer the person stuffing the envelopes to a neurologist? The "enclosed fliers" about the new support group were nowhere to be found, nor was the local director's business card "to call if you have questions" attached like it said it was.
For that matter, you should probably have the person writing the letters checked out, too.
Yours truly,

Novel (but ineffective) marketing ploy?
ReplyDeleteDid your EMR print that out?
ReplyDeleteAt least someone remembered to put the stamp on it, it got to you right ?
ReplyDeleteThat's what the letter would have looked like before the mail merge operation. Apparently that failed. This just shows brain-dead quality control checking.
ReplyDelete"I'm not just the president- I'm also a client!"
ReplyDeleteAnd they don't use the Oxford Comma. THOSE MONSTERS!
ReplyDeleteDid you get the same letter again the next day? And the day after that?
ReplyDeleteNow what did I come in this room for?
ReplyDelete;P
Perhaps they forgot.
ReplyDeleteOne of the risks of relying on inadequately supervised volunteers, perhaps? The Alz Assoc is trying to encourage MDs to refer newly diagnosed Alz patients to their association, to try to engage them and their families in some advance planning and in supporting them in adjusting to this devastating diagnosis.
ReplyDeleteGood idea, poorly executed. But please don't rule out the Alz Association, they do a lot of good...nobody's perfect.
And I love a good dementia joke as much as anyone...we're all whistling in the dark, those of us over 50.
