luckyluke 2 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I would say that that sort of setup is the responsibility of the patient and his/her family (in this case, Buckingham Palace). It does my wick in when we have patients on ICU with families who are all at war with each other and the ICU staff are supposed to ask as some sort if arbiter of it all and screen it all instead of actually doing their job. The palace should have arranged a protocol for how the other royals would contact Kate (that in all likelihood wouldn't incolve them speaking to anyone but each other over the phone) and for all we know they probably did and this nurse didn't follow it.

You don't need an official protocol to know that the Queen doesn't ring up herself at 5am to speak to her grand daughter in law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31583 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The fact it was put through to the ward by the Receptionist who clearly believed it to be real would have made it a whole lot harder for the nurse. She was the one who first received the call and put it through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 337 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The fact it was put through to the ward by the Receptionist who clearly believed it to be real would have made it a whole lot harder for the nurse. She WAS the "receptionist!" This is why there has to be something more to this. She wasn't the one who gave out info. She merely handed the call to another nurse who did that. You can't hold DJ's, royal family or anyone else responsible for someone who made a decision to end her own life. I don't doubt she got a ticking off but it would have been a damn sight less than the poor girl who gave the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I was responding to Pud who said it was the hospital's responsibility to arrange such a protocol. Regardless, it is not the fault of the hospital, the royal family or the DJs that the nurse took her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 34422 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Was just thinking that if the nurse wasn't really dead and turned up at their 'Safe house' where these two zany DJ's are hiding in, biting their fingernails and whimpering to themselves and she was accompanied by someone like Noel Edmonds, a telly crew, Mr Blobby and Edmond's smarmy grin as he handed over a 'Gotcha' then it might well be the best prank the DJ's have ever been involved in?
