Is it a common Danish habit to treat Westerns as being historically accurate?
The scene I posted is from a documentary called "Unforgiven" about the harsh treatment of prostitute in the old west.

If yes, I wouldn't be surprised. How could one single incident where her name was not made public, she was not disciplined by her employer and the Royal Family did not complain cause someone to kill themself?
See the quotation at #230

"Nor, it seems, did it adequately consider just how devastated that nurse would feel when she realised the result of her action. We may in due course learn there were other factors that contributed to Indian-born Jacintha Saldanha’s fragile mental state. But at the moment it seems likely that her background and culture meant she couldn’t forgive herself for having brought shame on herself, her family and her employers."

Yes, but the number of people who knew her name was a very small circle. Certainly, the public did not know until AFTER she committed suicide. Now her family is in the spotlight. This incident would have blown over by now (we would be focusing on Lindsay Lohan instead) except for the suicide which keeps this incident in the news.

Considering how little time there was between the two events, big whoop. Actually her family is keeping a very low profile. Two for two, well done.

English Coroner’s Inquests are quite through and also open. Let us see what comes forth. . .

nb the Inquest which opened today has now been adjourned until March so that evidence may be gathered.

I'm guessing the whole incident was just too much for her... I mean she probably worked her entire life to become the 'Queen's nurse' and probably had more goals to achieve in that hospital. Its safe to assume that this little mistake of hers probably did more damage to her career and aspirations. I mean working in that hospital, most nurses would love to be recognized by the Queen/Royal Family at some point.. maybe even hired as the head nurse at Buckingham Palace.. but what are we to know. its all speculation

it takes time to set up a disciplinary meeting. believe me there is a cover up that was a serious breach of privacy esp since it had to do with the biggest VIP in the world. I believe the royal family complained as well

Not sure where the truth lies but according to media reports she was not reprimanded by the hospital and the Royal Family did not file a complaint. Why would the hospital and/or the Royal Family want more publicity on this matter? Let's be honest, if not for the suicide, wouldn't the world's attention be focused on Justin Bieber's murder plot right now.

Except for me, I'm sure you all made mistakes in your career. Was your life ruined? Nobody died because of her lapse in judgment. It wasn't like she drove DUI and killed a baby in a stroller.

She was not assigned to the Royal family. She was working switchboard, which is an odd job for a registered nurse, when it can be done by an unlicensed clerk.

Maybe she was already having trouble coping and was on switchboard because it was low stress / less life critical work.

or maybe all nurses start out on the switchboard in that hospital before being assigned. The mistake probably killed all her chances of ever serving the Royal family. That in itself is pretty depressing. I mean, imagine working in a firm with the hopes of becoming a CEO or so one day.. but a stupid mistake just blows that chance forever, makes you recognizable as 'the guy/girl who made that mistake the world heard about'. Whether its displayed or not, but your bosses surely must look at you different from them on.

This is very sad, that she felt that her entire life was ruined. Was she fired from the hospital afterall? Or what happened more exactly?

This would have blown over by next year so it's a terrible shame what she did.

You really should take time to learn before you speak. All of the information available stays the royal family did not complain and there was no disciplinary action.

I guess you need to make things up to support your approach.

Oh oh oh, she criticized her treatment by her employer or peers??? Oh gee. I wonder if anyone around here saw that one coming.

Hey RLD, how do you like your crow? Medium or well done?
Speaking of crow, it appears that a distinguished professor of pyschology disagrees with your contention that anyone who committs suicide is mentally ill:

Having a mental illness is a risk factor for suicide, but not everyone who takes their own life is mentally ill, Kaslow said. Sometimes a person who is already feeling stressed or fragile can be pushed to the brink with an incident like this.
I look forward to seeing what comes out about the employer. But for certain, science has destroyed your assertion that all people who committ suicide are mentally ill.

You have made a right fool of yourself again, but babbling on about things you don't understand or bother to learn about.

You obviously don't bother to read what others have posted.

Several days ago I mentioned complete with a link to and quotation from the article, that the King Edward VII Hospital had a normal late night procedure of putting the switchboard on automatic and transferring all incoming calls to a senior on duty nurse.

Once Fuji has a theory the facts fall by the wayside for him.
