Kate hoax nurse found dead

[LatteLiberal]

To her being humiliated in this way was probably more serious than a child dying of cancer.

If it was then she had serious mental issues.

Her employers knew who she was and I would be amazed if they did not fire her, anyone with any connection to the hospital or to her would have found out easily enough.

That is without anyone making proper effort etc. This would hardly have stayed anonymous.

Although she might well have been upset by the backlash even if the people concerned probably did not know her exact name.

Why would they fire her? It was an honest mistake. I thought the hospital had said that she wasn't in any trouble as a result of the call?

Obviously you missed the salient point. Whatever made this woman kill herself, it was probably mostly due to her terrible life up to that point, so quite why anybody is looking to blame these two DJs for doing something a bit juvenile is beyond me. Why are we not all blaming the NHS for taking better care of nurses, for example?

Speculation of course, but I just don't buy that a normal happy person is so upset by something like this that they kill themselves.

Have you ever heard the expression "Death before dishonour"?

YES YES YES, that's why you shouldn't play jokes like that because you don't know who is on the other end. It's not rocket science!

If most of the people on this forum behaved with that much sensitivity towards others there would be very little activity in General.

But you know what you're joining i.e. you are consenting, again it's not difficult!

Yeah, the warning is on the packet, don't feed them after midnight and don't get 'em wet!

Of course they are saying that now otherwise they would be blamed for her suicide, as it is they can stand back and plead innocence whilst the public bay for the blood of these DJs.

It being an honest mistake is not grounds for not firing someone.

The hospital was a laughing stock and had it's reputation severely tarnished, they would have fired her as it was her fault and if nothing else to 'show how seriously they take this kind of thing' etc.

Very good point. However people should know the score before they come on here. Not so if you are working in a hospital -

To be fair we are normally quite civil and polite on here, you f*cktard.

It was a mistake and the DJs cannot be blamed for her death but they (and others ) should learn from it.
