"Then to discover that, not only had this happened, but that the call had been pre-recorded and the decision to transmit approved by your station's management, was truly appalling."
From the above article....this makes it ten times worse...they had a chance to make all this go away....but ran with it....what egotistical fools.

I would agree with this. They will bear the brunt of the media attention as they are the public face of the stunt. However, there are a fair few other people that need to take a long hard look at themselves. Some of the statements that have come from the station after her death leave a lot to be desired.
I'm not sure any of that answers the question.
How tragic. Poor nurse. Made a fool of, the whole world laughing at you, probably fired just before xmas with a black mark against her name. Her career and livelyhood in ruin and no income leading up to xmas. Since it was with royals the whole thing is amplified. Yes she probably did not follow procedures but she was put in a difficult position where she probably just did not want to delay and give fast servce to royalty asking about family condition.
The radio station were playing with fire and they got burnt. I have no sympathy. The "joke" is now on them. I trust they find it funny now.
EDIT: apparently not fired, but still...

You didn't read the above article did you? The hospital didn't discipline her or suspend her. But she obviously felt ridiculed enough to do what she did.
Was just reading it and skimmed and missed that bit. edited
And all easily preventable if she'd done her job properly.
And all easily preventable if they didn't do the "prank".
No your right but both ends ARE responsible, IE the DJs should not have rung up, used false identity to gain confidential information, that can get you in to a lot of trouble over here and the hostpital staff should be following protocol.
It seems that both parties in this incident done something wrong, and the out one was unfortunatly someone who obviously had a lot of problems on her back to do what she did.
Saying that I do feel for the woman, how many times have we slipped up on the phone before getting us in to trouble at work or something?
Intentianally trying to use a high profile (queen)s voice to invade and gain access to private matters is just stupid

Yep I know. Still so sad though. She was put in a position that would be rare and probably not taught very often. She probably got nervous and panicked no?
Surely the radio station thought this through though? If it fails, it's rubbish. If it works, it's what...entertaining? No. It causes problems AND is still rubbish.
Imagine how her family and friends must feel though. All in the name of "entertainment" wheels were set in motion and the end result is unfortunately someone died. This is 100% the radio stations fault...who elses is it? Yes it is unfortunate and unlucky but they are the reason this happened. They are at fault.
-Nobody but the Nurse is responsible for her actions.
-You can't go through life worrying if your actions might lead to someone killing themselves.
Well exactly, it is indeed not a prank. Infact it's very illegal
1: She acted in a way she felt was appropriate. Nobody is disputing that?
2: People make decisions in life. Some of those decisions may well be thinking a situation through to decide whether it is a good idea.
1) A health professionals has a duty of care towards his/her patients which they must follow.
2) I could have an argument with someone at work which might lead to them going home and killing themselves. It doesn't mean I was wrong to do what I did.
