Prince William and wife Kate Middleton leaving the hospital
in London, England
Police have revealed nurse Jacintha Saldanha left suicide
notes before taking her life last week, over a radio station prank by
2Day FM djs
Mel Greig and Michael Christian. The duo telephoned
King Edward VII hospital in London,
England pretending to be Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles, calling
to check on their pregnant in-law, Kate Middleton, wife of Prince
William.

It is thought the embarrassment of it all was too much for
Saldanha to bear and regrettably she took her life.
Two nurses fell for the prank and I can see why under the
circumstances.
I thought about it and wondered how
Saldanha or anyone for that matter was to reasonably handle such a stupid
situation, because if she didn't put the call through and it had actually been
the Queen and Prince Charles, she would have been in trouble with her
supervisors regarding her job.
Had they vetted the call it would have taken many minutes of having
the individuals on hold, who may or may not have been members of the royal
family, to check with Buckingham Palace or Clarence House. It was a lose lose
situation, because of a foolish prank, which breached medical confidentiality
laws. Charges should be brought. Shock jocks all over the world need a wake up
call.

2Day FM has offered Saldanha's family $500,000, but the
Judiciary Report is of the belief they should be forced to pay way more than
that, as they gave the go ahead to harassing the staff of a busy hospital
tending to sick people, for an unlawful on air prank, which left an innocent person dead.
