The British nurse who received a prank call by an Australian radio station asking for information on prince William's wife Kate.

From the prank call to blame for this tragedy joining us now is.
Hi Chris and member of the Fox News medical aid team doctor Keith -- hi doctor of law.
The more reality parts -- there so many questions about what exactly went wrong here that led to this nurses suicide but it seems obvious.
That if this we're just a simple prank call.
Where no one was any the -- error after this prank -- perpetrated that would be one thing but the fact that this reached in -- national.
Level.
A public humiliation.
And that is what probably.
Turned the tide for this nurse do you agree.
Well.
I agree it could be that.
She was embarrassed and felt humiliated because of the scale.
Of the reaction of the call but some thing if this event.
Proceeded her suicide.
Tragically.
Then.
It has to be that there was a preexisting.
Condition psychologically.
That would lead her to take this event.
This much to heart but -- I should she won't be able to go on living any further because most people would not have that.
Reaction argues that -- travel -- -- sadly seen other tragic case is of this and I think if Tyler Clementi the Rutgers student.
Who you know his his roommate busted him having sexual encounter that's -- that happens on college campuses every day.
-- -- killed himself because he was put on the Internet.
There's something about public humiliation.
Data ratchets up -- -- so much more.
Well listen I agree that public humiliation can be incredibly painful to people now -- -- event was.
Of many orders of magnitude more humiliating you're talking about somebody having sex.
In a video somebody -- sexual orientation.
Was not before known to everyone now it's broadcast before -- necessarily wanted it.
To be to be no you don't -- -- so this is not a not not -- at that at that level and again -- -- committed.
All the time we have reality shows in this country where the prankster.
Much more serious and the people then say go ahead broadcasted it doesn't bother me at all and a I -- if this nurse took her life it is not because of this call.
But the call.
Could have stimulated a woman who was psychologically very vulnerable and that's.
Let let me horrible act it is like quickly reach you what the hospital has said in a letter to the radio station.
It was extremely foolish of your present there's even to consider trying to lied their way.
Through 21 of our patients let alone actually make the call.
-- to discover that not only had that happen but then called had been pre recorded and the decision to transmit approved by your station's management.
Was truly appalling.
Doctor album we have to leave it there but now we always appreciate your professional expertise coming Ari thanks thanks well since --
