Interesting SMS message from my clinic

September 18, 2004

Interesting. I got this SMS message this afternoon, apparently from Raffles Medical Group, a local medical establishment with a hospital and a chain of clinics.

Thank u for using our clinic recently. Pls share your feedback to help us serve u better. Would u recommend our services to others? Raffles Medical Management

I’m not sure whether this is legitimate (though it almost has to be), and I wonder who’d reply to a message like this. Should I say “Yes, I would recommend it to my friends and family, but your prices are exhorbitant?” (I visited their hospital’s outpatient clinic because it was nearest to my office.)

Back to trying not to scratch my rash-covered body…

I have a rule never to let anyone treat me medically who spells ‘you’ as ‘u’.

Got a similar message when visiting france. Something about tourist information.

Oh yes I heard about that. They do that to keep track of their staff’s quality of service.

How about an answer to the question along the lines of:
“I would have, but by this SMS spam you just made my blacklist and I am now forced to specifically recommend my friends NOT use you.”

No I didnt reply as it said something about calling a number and listed some service prices :D Didnt really want to pay for it.
