It's a sad situation all the way around . . . I even feel bad for the DJ's that are embroiled in all of this. When I was growing up, phone pranks were damn near a part of the culture. I remember a friend calling someone out of the phone book and telling them he was a DJ at a very popular radio station and he announced they had been picked out of the phone book and had won ten thousand dollars -- complete with bells and whistles in the background. It was believable and the people were yelling and screaming, not believing their good fortune. It's when these things go wrong that you ever hear anything about them. These people who thought they had won ten grand could have hopped in their car to get to the radio station (false address) and in their excitement and haste could have been involved in an accident and killed along the way. Any number of bad things could have happened.

What happened with this nurse is tragic, but I have this nagging suspicion that there's a whole lot more to this story than is being told. I don't believe she was very strong emotionally to begin with and I honestly believe her supervisor chewed her out royally (no pun intended) and threated her job. She was a devoted mother who worked tirelessly to provide for her kids, so a threat like that would be mind-blowing to her. And let's face it, some of us humanoids aren't that well-built to withstand pressure beyond a certain point. It's very tragic, but then so are we as human beings really. It's just plain nonsensical and sad.
