[quote:Anonymous Coward 1121064:MV8yMDc2NjQ2XzM1MDIzMDA0XzE5ODVEQTE0] [quote:Anonymous Coward 17338098:MV8yMDc2NjQ2XzM1MDEwNjk2Xzc3RDFBOUZE] I have to admit...when I first heard about it I was soooo pissed at the DJs and thought they should be held accountable. Then I started thinking...she obviously had to have had so much more going on in her life because this one issue is highly unlikely to have caused her to go this far. Then I started thinking about the hospital where she worked, they say they fully supported her, but would they really tell us if they raked her over the coals for patching the call through to the Duchess' nurse? No they would not. They would not want to have any accountability for something like this happening to one of their employees if they did in fact punish her at work. Then I started thinking about the DJs...how could they have known? And if they would have known would they still have made the call? No, they wouldn't have. They were doing what they needed to do to get people to listen to their show. Went back to thinking about the nurse again and thought if she was having mental instability issues being a nurse she would have known where to get help. She would have known what her thoughts may lead her to do. But ultimately she chose not to get the help she needed and chose to commit a very selfish act leaving two children behind. I cannot see how a mother would leave two children behind. All in all it is a tragedy but its really not the fault of anyone but herself. She is the one who killed herself and the DJs had no idea what that call would lead to. [/quote] Agree! The media has taken news to a new level of 3 minute bites... and certainly don't allow the facts to get in the way. [/quote]

Interesting blog post defending the Australian DJs that a lot of people think caused the suicide of the UK nurse:
