I've never listened to talk back radio (don't ask me why unless you want another rant), but since the "music" stations started employing presenters that think their opinions and stupid chatter matter more than the music I've switched off.
Oh, was that sarcasm artme, I missed the appropriate smiley.To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

Wouldn't it be wonderful that just once,out of rescpect for the women and her family that people could keep opinions and conjecture to themselves.
What has been put into print in this thread is just as bad as the media that most have been denouncing.

Frank, I believe that most, if not all of the people that have responded in this thread feel great sorrow for what happened to the woman concerned, her family, friends and work colleagues. Some have expressed their sorrow publicly, others haven't.
Surely you're not telling us that we cannot debate the (low) standards of journalism, which is what, I believe the OP was alluding to.To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

You of all being a person who avoids the media like plague surely wouldn't allude to discuss what the media are reporting, my point is the media doesn't show any rescpect and will milk this for all it's worth. At least we can show some rescpect in not discussing the media's hearsay and conjecture.

It's amazing how the comment on social media, including this and other forums, has started to say that the poor nurse must have had other issues to make her commit suicide, when so far, there's not been a scrap of evidence to that effect. Almost as if it was being orchestrated by spin doctors for the station. No, they wouldn't do that, would they.

Jonathon Holmes (the Media Watch guy) has this to say.
Alex, I think people are questioning her mental state because it's so hard to believe that someone would suicide over something like this. She was by far the lesser party in it.

Well, I find it hard to believe that anyone would commit suicide over anything but a terminal disease, but clearly they do. However, there has been no evidence that anything about her previous mental state would have predisposed her to take her own life, yet many people seem to be assuming that there was.
To me, if it smells like a rat, it often is. I know that's an assumption too, but it's at least as valid as the assumption that she had some predisposing issues.

One point that has not been covered is the possible impact on relatives of the sick and dying. Many of us have been in the situation where the hospital/nursing home tells us that we can ring anytime, day or night. This is in recognition that relatives need reassurance and comfort too.
Are nurses to treat every such call with suspicion from now on adding further stress to an already stressful job and an extra burden on concerned relatives?Cheers,
Jim
