Message Subject Nurse Who Took Prank Call Regarding Kate's Pregnancy Commits Suicide
Poster Handle Anonymous Coward
Post Content
In the USA, there are strict rules about imparting patient information, even to family. It's simply not permitted without the patient's consent.

It would be surprising if there were not such rules effecting the nurse, as well.

The pranksters should be held accountable, for using the pressure of "authority" to overwhelm the nurse's normal response. Given a few minutes to think it over, she would have had a different reaction.

No different than hitting her with a fast car on a sidewalk.

Destroyed her job and future earnings, made her a laughingstock and yes, killed her, for a laugh.

Sociopaths at large.

Hang 'em.

In the U.S. it would be a HIPPA violation and threaten your license and cause you to be fired with a no re-hire so YES ruin your career.

She was likely one of those people that practically worshiped the royal family thus was so excited hearing the "queen's voice" that she lost her senses. This mistake brought a sense of shame upon her that was too much to go along with never working in her field again.

Likely there is some type of HIPPA Law in the UK. This could have had severe repercussions for the nurse. Especially as the Royal Family was involved. Interesting to note,(per one article), that they had a nurse functioning as the switchboard operator. Think that shows they were trying to prevent this type of incident and yet it happened.
