Seriously people. This is about some people who don't live on the Internet and who believe (maybe misguidedly) in loyalty and reputation. I find it incredibly sad. The hoax callers may not have intended this, but they couldn't have cared less about making someone look foolish. Maybe an overreaction, but reminds us that poking fun isn't very positive.

To me it shows us how strong a regard people hold the royal family.
Disagree. the royals can take care of themselves. this is a nurse who thought she'd let everybody down. sad.

....and she thought she let everyone because of what GF said - people give to much of a shit about the Royals. I can't portion any blame to the Aussies - it's ultimately not their fault this country is fucked up. It's a sad story and I'm not one of those alphas that think the solution to a mental health problem is just to man up. Sometimes people need help and support and its very unfortunate she seemingly didn't get the help she needed.
1 in 5 people suffer with a mental health problem in their life and need help and support clearly this nurse didn't get it.
Nah. We spoke about this earlier. No-one cares that much about this story.
Replace the word 'Royals' above with 'celebrities' and this would be just as valid. It's a general obsession with celebrity which I think is more of a problem, these days the Royals are just celebs albeit uber-celebs. Were it 'Posh' in hospital then granted the hoax call might not have come from Australia but the same thing could have happened with someone pretending to be David and the same outcome.
Did you know what this nurse looked like before this? Did you know her name? She would hardly be pilloried for it by the public, no-one knew who she was.
If the nurse was that unstable that she'd do this then it might well have happened anyway sooner or later.
It's sad but it's not really anyone's fault. If you must point a finger anywhere then do so at the press, they're the ones who blew up a non-story into something which made this lady feel so stupid.
It's a sad story. As said, unfortunate she did not get the help she needed and her family is left in this situation. The DJs are getting pilloried everywhere and their show's been taken off air. Wouldn't have thought they'll have much of a future. There's so many people hounding them and sending abuse who probably didn't even raise an eyebrow when the prank was actually aired.
Yeah they're 'responsible' for this and 'need stringing up'. Another sensible reaction from the Daily Mail there.
The radio station is a joke.
The phonecall was not broadcast live - it was recorded and then broadcast. Then when it proved popular, the management put the call on their website.
The same management that have now suspended the DJs.
