My question is - why didn't the hospital have proper measures in place for an event like this? Even at my work, we are explicitly told what to do with enquiries. I can't believe that there isn't/wasn't a proper method in place for giving out information.
I assumed that answering the switchboard wasn't her normal job because everything I've read says that she's a qualified nurse and nurses don't usually handle the switchboard. Maybe they do things differently at King Edward VII's. It's a teeny tiny private hospital.
The one thing I've learned from this story is that people in other countries care way more about out monarchy than we do and some of your views on them are funny lol.
I work in a teeny tiny private hospital and when switchboard operators go on a break, nurses might take over.

I think this is kind of reaching.
It's interesting because there is obviously a fine line between a funny and not so funny prank. Sounds like these DJ's have been in trouble for stuff like this in the past.
I'm 99% sure the other incidents were other DJs, not these ones. Just on the same network.

First who thinks the queen cares about visiting hours? She wants to visit, she visits. Who thinks she makes her own phone calls? Who kills her self over something so stupid? I think it's sad that this girl died, but I've got to believe there was more going on with her. I hate stupid pranks, but this might have even been funnier than most, not that that's saying much, but I'm glad nothing serious is going wrong with the world right now.

Wrong photo of nurse used in UK royal prank scandal
A MANGALORE woman who shares the name of the UK nurse at the heart of the royal prank call scandal is considering legal action after her photograph was wrongly plastered over global media on the weekend.
Jacintha Saldanha, 53, said she was shocked to see her photo used in television and newspaper reports after media outlets had taken it from Facebook, mistaking her for the 46-year-old London nurse who suicided on Friday after being duped by two 2Day FM DJs.
"I was very upset after the media flashed my pictures yesterday, I was bombarded with more than 300 calls," she told Indian newspaper the Banaglore Mirror yesterday.
"At least 10 regional channels would have flashed my picture. We even called the channels personally and asked them to stop airing my picture. I thought it was over, but then a few newspapers picked the same picture and carried it today."
Ms Saldanha contacted local police and media outlets about the mistake but was forced to take to Facebook - where she now has more than 1100 "fans" - to announce she was not dead.
"To all the wonderful people across the globe, I am very much alive, though every local news channel and community websites declared otherwise!" she wrote on Saturday.
"Boundaries between news and entertainment is (sic) so blurred! Thanks and God bless you all for your concern.''
Ms Saldanha, a mother and housewife, said she was being urged to take legal action by family members upset about the incident.
"The media should have at least cross-checked before publishing the photo," she said.
"My cousins across the world asked me to sue the media for this. My children were also upset. Unfortunately, because of this incident, the Jacintha who died is not the one getting all the sympathy."
