So Very Sad

[flump1]

It has been reported that the nurse who answered the phone and was duped by the prank regarding Kate in hospital has been found dead. Such bloody sad news.

[Sqad]

I agree also with gromit....jokes and pranks are so restricted now due to being PC, it is very difficult to indulge in joking.

It was a prank, an inoccent prank by the DJ's.

Terrible end, but i agree that she must have had other "issues."

[pusskin]

omg, that is so sad. I've just this second heard of it on here. SHOCKING news

[kitty123]

What a terrible shame for that poor nurse and her family.

I think the DJs just didn't think it through.

Surely this could have damaged her career? I thought breaking confidentiality was a big deal in the medical profession?

[ZedBloke]

good to see the "caring" left showing their colours here.

Good job it wan't my NHS hospital............they'd still be waiting for someone to answer the phone.

[ummmm]

The DJ's didn't even expect to get put through. They presumed the call would have been terminated.

[mazie]

She didn't break any confidentiality 2sp. She was the one that put the call through, that's all she did.

I dont think that jokes are appropriate now .

Come off it Sqad. I have no problem joking...even play the odd practical joke. Never, ever by making someone look foolish to the world and then gloating about it. The "recipients" need to be able to laugh with you for it to be funny.

[woofgang]

Yes the prank was silly and irresponsible but I am another one who suspects that this sad young lady had more problems in her life than one silly mistake.

Zedbloke, what does your comment mean?

[anotheoldgit]

/// Had she recently had a sense of humour by-pass? ///

/// It was a joke. She must have had other problems.///

How can anyone agree with these comments at such a sad time, how very uncaring some are.

[joko]

i agree that there must be more to her mental health than just this - if you would kill yourself ONLY for this reason then you are a fool - there must be other reasons.

i bet 99% of others taking that call would have felt a bit daft, then brushed it off ... even if theyd been in trouble for it....its unfortunate that the one that took it must have been unable to handle it.

she didnt actually do much wrong either really, she just rerouted the call - she passed it to someone else to deal with - shes just a nurse, not trained in national security issue - she probably felt it wrong to start questioning the queen.

The prank was probably mildly amusing and certainly not meant in any malicious troublesome way - and many people thoguht it was funny - it was just a daft joke and i dont think you can blame them for her death at all.

Many people who laughed at the time are now claiming to be up in arms in outrage saying it was not funny at all and that the callers should be 'done by the authorities' - would they still be saying that had someone not died?
no probably not...

there was no real harm done by the prank, it just flagged up the need for more checks to be done.

it is a great shame if this girl felt so embarrassed that she had to die

[DTCwordfan]

terrible and I hope those two broadcasters feel sick to the pit of their stomachs in that they pushed her over the top - as gromit pointed out, she obviously had issues (but nothing to laugh about), but then that is what can happen, a crass remark or action can be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back.

Her poor family and colleagues and also the Cambridges.

One question though - wouldn't it be likely that one of her colleagues sensed something was wrong and should she have been assigned to them?

[danchip]

Maybe MI5 assasinated her for giving away info about the royal family!

Another conspiracy theory ?

[phleb]

I just do not know what to say. It is so very very sad. :(

[jomifl]

Practical jokes and hoaxes, it's what morons do best.

[daffy654]

Poor, poor woman :'(

[owdhamer]

The media wants a right rodding over this tragedy
