    Do you think any punishment should be coming to the two radio DJ's who pranked the English Hospital?

    These prak call on the radio has been around for some time, what they did was just that, a prank, it wasn't meant to harm--  I don't think they should be punished, I've heard far worse prank calls-- However, when a prank call ends up hurting someone then the issue needs to be examined.  The idea that this nurse commited suicide over this prank call tells me there is other underlying issues in her life, the prank call just set it off.   

    Yes, I'm not sure if they should be fired but they should


    definitely be  fined and have to do some type of 


    community service. They should also have to publicly apologize 


    and NEVER be allowed to prank call people again. The fine


    should go to the family of the unfortunate nurse.

    Yes maybe not fired, but something for that family would be appropriate, in my estimation also.

    Practical jokes are a way of life and entertainment.  DJ's do it all the time.  They never expected to get through to anyone, it was a fluke. I don't think they should be punished at all. Not for doing what they are paid  to do.......

    Hmmm...I think they went way too far on this!..Especially as the media/newspapers ..Leveson report are so hot on the trail of things right now...O.K.they have been suspended from work..and they`ll have to live with this tragedy...but lessons need to be learned yet again imho...a nurse took her life because of this!:(...I do agree that this was an unfortunate prank that went wrong..but at the end of the day I think people need to think out the affect that bad taste pranks may have on people..and it was a massive invasion of patient confidentiality!:(

    Sorry but, I don't think they knew what they were doing. DJ's call the white house all the time. It was a good show and the nurse made it better. She didn't need to die for it but suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem.....

    My roommate just acquainted it with Orson Wells and THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. Remember all the hoopla over that? He didn't get punished......
