1317034 2012-12-07 19:26:00 And notice I said personal info.

Much as the identity you have chosen to hide is personal info. As is your age, the state of your health, the status of your prostate, your heart, your blood pressure, diabetes, incontinence. These details are personal to yourself and your immediate family or your carers. It is not appropriate that anyone can call up your doctor and to broadcast his discussion of the various ways your body is failing you.

1317035 2012-12-07 19:31:00 That is very sad to hear.

I thought the prank was a laugh and pretty harmless really.

Any one who thought the Queen would ring up like that is a bit silly.

I am really sorry the nurse thought it was so serious.

I bet those Aussie guys are feeling terrible right now (and for ever)

But prank calls, punked, candid camera etc are just part of a free life.

(as long as no one gets really hurt)

1317037 2012-12-07 19:44:00 It is a very sad situation.

I have no sympathy for the two DJ's. While most of us like like some laughter, seemingly those two were just feeding their own overinflated egos.

I am not a public figure, but I wouldn't like my private and personal details disclosed by any hospital or organisation privy to that information.

Ignorant Aussie colonials always doing stupid things, in the old days they would have been hung, drawn and quartered (pour encourager les autres) for taking such liberties with members of the Royal Family.

1317042 2012-12-07 21:18:00 At the time I thought the prank was funny. Now, not so much... :( pcuser42 (130)
1317043 2012-12-07 21:22:00 What a lot of emotional claptrap. :rolleyes:

The woman took her own life it seems and that was completely her own choice.

If one must try to hold someone else responsible, then the Management of the Hospital might be a good place to start. Clearly they over reacted to a complete non-event and put on a fine display of PC - hand-wringing - BS. Maybe it was their response that led the nurse to suicide?

As for the Aussie Pranksters, well they could never have guessed the outcome and it’s been reported that Kate and William weren’t concerned about the minor breach of privacy anyway.

As far as I’m concerned it is just a pity that those that choose to commit suicide can’t allocate their life to someone terminally ill, who wants to live, before doing so.
