Re: Nurse suicide...hoax callers at fault.
Nor is the article I'm working on..
You might not be, unless she left a note and lied in it. There is a point to empathy etc it offers insight into people and what makes them tick. One can be black and white but it doesn't always make one right. The point is difficult to prove but doesn't mean it isn't true (or, I concede, that it is true either), but that it is probable.

Such a shame.

Re: Nurse suicide...hoax callers at fault.
[QUOTE=Kix;10424055]I'm not so sure Dr. BC, you know how people from sub continent (OK Sri Lanka) react if they bring shame on their family, perhaps she just couldn't stand the stress anymore, didn't know how to take it and hung herself.
I'm not convinced there is anything more to the story.
What I find sickening is that in Aus you need the victims permission to broadcast or record a private telephone conversation, this was pre recorded, authorised by the company's lawyers too? Are they not the ones with blood on their hands? Did the second nurse even know it was a hoax when she hung up? I don't think so.
The company involved has form though, a few years ago another of their presenters forced a 14 year old live on air to reveal that she'd been raped while playing a lie detector game, presumably to get a really crappy prize.[/QUOTE
Found this out earlier today by my eldest daughter! This radio station has got a bad reputation for their pranks! Igrree with you kix.

Re: Nurse suicide...hoax callers at fault.
There appear to be some rather strong opinions about this and my FB timeline is full of differences of opinion. Apparently as I think it's inappropriate to prank call hospitals that makes me pious! I think to make that prank call was grossly insensitive, as problems in early pregnancy are very worrying to any woman and her family, and that those who think it funny and claim that the woman who killed herself was a 'nutter' need to examine their own values.
There is a time and a place for jokes and this just wasn't it.

Not quite as big, but the call was inappropriate. Anyone who has ever had problems in early pregnancy will know that. And considering all the coverage of the Levinson enquiry, you'd think that the press/media would have the common sense, if not the decency, to back off.

Not disagreeing, just saying the UK media made it huge and international media made it bigger. She tops herself and it goes through the ceiling. Had the UK media not turned into judge jury and lynch mob, I doubt she'd have been pushed to such lengths.
