One of those times you hope the BBC is wrong.
Breaking news.....
A nurse at the London hospital where the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was treated has been found dead in central London, the BBC understands.....
.....It is understood the dead woman took a hoax call from an Australian radio station earlier this week.
Telegraph now has it too, definitely sounds like suicide.
Poor woman

You'd like to think they'd get the boot but they probably still think that what they did was funny. Funny that they had no idea of the possible consequences to other peoples' careers and, even, lives. Poor woman!

Oh good grief. How unbelievably sad.
That is the trouble with these pranksters- they never think of the possible consequences. Let us hope they feel some remorse at least, and if not then they should feel the full opprobrium of the public and their bosses.

The station says it will hold an inquiry, and both of them have had to take thier twitter accounts down after the abuse they have been given.

A joke that went wrong. Who would have thought a nurse would do that?
This could set a new precedent....the end of all phone practical jokes - everywhere.No more at all....there's no knowing the reaction.

Re: One of those times you hope the BBC is wrong.
Patient confidentiality is a absolutely non negotiable fundamental.....no doubt this poor nurse had visions of discipline measures from the hospital as well as an inquiry by the NMC.... that could mean the end of her nursing career and end to her income..... Not to mention the public shame of being known as the nurse who failed to do this...
If only the general public had any idea of the professional standards we live by...this should NEVER have happened.

you would have thought that the nature of the hoax would have mitigated if her employers had taken an extreme view..

Re: One of those times you hope the BBC is wrong.
NMC hearings are published on their web site....for all to see....go have a look at them and see the kindbof crap nurses loosevtheir licences for and are suspended for and are censured for.....
Even a censure from the nmc is enough to ruin her career.... And even with the support of the hospital she would have felt an overwhelmingbresponsibility
Her poor husband and children
