I believe the hospital canned her and it sent her over the edge

Apparently the nurse was inconsolable over the prank. I have no doubt she was at least initially scared of losing her job. She had been repeatedly humiliated publicly purely because she wasn't trained in this situation and was caught off guard. She received vitriol and calls for her to be sacked in all media forum.Every one of those producers listened to that recording and the DJ's knew that people could lose their jobs over this. We have no idea the background she came from or what the possibility of losing that job meant. For that reason I don't feel sorry for them. She was a woman put in the media spotlight. Who expects that?
It's wrong. At the very least they must have known that the nurses they called could be sacked, reprimanded and humiliated at best, and they were calling a hospital to make fun of a sick person and share personal private details for a laugh and fame.
They could not have predicted a death but they should and could easily have predicted that people would be hurt, embarrassed and ashamed and humiliated. They deserve to feel utterly dreadful and they should feel burning shame and remorse.
I don't buy into this 'well, she must have had ishooooos anyway' thing, and it being the straw that broke the camels back. She was national news. It was played over and over again. She was humiliated. Get yourself taunted all over the world and see how you feel (not you op).
Playing pranks on friends when you know whether they will take it in good grace is one thing but on complete strangers is not on. It doesn't take a genius to work out that if more information got put through there would be great chance that someone would lose their job, be a public inquiry of some sort and that the gutter press would have a field day.
I should imagine this woman feared for her job not to mention the fact that some people take duty very seriously indeed and feel honored to serve the Royals (couldn't be me!). Who knows but I honestly think these two should resign. They should have gone after the incident with the teenage girl and the rape she admitted.

I don't think jailtime is called for but their actions shouldn't just be shrugged off as a "dumb prank."
They shouldn't have done it in the first place, then took it too far.
And this station is notorious for dirty pranks, one of their calls ended up with a 14 year old girl admitting to being raped live on the air. That whole fukking station should be shut down.

to the first bolded...she was being humiliated at work for not being trained at her station prior to this incident? if yes, then that may be what is being referred to as pre-existing issues that made this incident send her over the edge.

I'm not seeing how she was humiliated seeing as though all she did was transfer the call.

i understand how they feel they were expecting to get hung up on right away, they even said that during the call they DEFINITELY weren't expecting to be transferred so i understand when they say there was no way to know that could be an outcome, and once they got through of course they were going to go through with it for jokes
all their history prior is a big deal tho....they should've stopped that shiit from a while ago

i want to know how she died!
Did she take pills then fell over in the street next to the hospital? Surely someone would have seen something.
