My brothers wife was in hospital for a few days with morning sickness so I think it can be quite bad for some people. She had twins but someone else she knew was also in hospital for it with just one baby, might be rare but it's wrong to think it doesn't happen to normal folk.
@Ka-blamo well yes. It was more about the point that most regular people would never be kept in for that, they'd just get told it's normal and to get on with things. Unless I'm missing something and most preganat women now get admitted for morning sickness? If so, things have moved on since we had our last child. -

You're the self righteous twat mate. What does an ectopic pregnancy have to do with hyperemesis? My wife suffered with hyperemesis during her first pregnancy and is suffering again now. It's pretty awful. They send you to hospital because the vomiting means that the sufferers can get dangerously dehydrated. What exactly is your problem with that?
@TarickStonefire actually........I do know all about it...in fact, the reason It annoys me that Kate gets admitted for morning sickness is because my wife was sent home from hospital with an ectopic pregnancy and nearly died once, so why don't you feck off. You self righteous twat. -

Registered 7 years agoOh please go away. I've already said sorry for the rant.
It has nothing to do with it. I was merely comparing my own personal situation to that of a Royal. We couldn't even get my wife admitted when she was suffering severe bleeding, we got sent home.FCUTA!

Registered 4 years agoAlright but don't belittle the suffering of others just because you had a tough time. It's common practice to admit hyperemesis sufferers. Her being a royal has nothing to do with it. -

Registered 4 years agoPS hyperemesis is not 'just' morning sickness. It's completely debilitating and can last for the entire term. It's also a right pain in the fucking arse when your wife is ill, being sick, miserable and in bed for four months in a row and counting and you have to do all the cooking, cleaning, work, look after the two year old and nursemaid the wife so I'm sure you'll forgive me if I tell you to stfu. -

And what has also already been said is this was no ordinary prank because it's calling a hospital which sets it aside from usual crank calls.
It's probably been said already by someone but radio pranks happen all the time, no one saw it ending like this and I really don't see how it's the radio station's fault.
If they'd risk assessed the 'prank' then they'd see that possible outcomes would be:
They get hung up on.
They get an innocent person in job risking trouble and potentially fired.
They find out that Kate is actually seriously ill or the baby's life in danger or dead.
If they'd thought for one second they never woulda risked all this to fill 2 minutes for their shit heap of a radio station.
People say that 'how were the DJs to know she'd kill herself?' Obviously that's an extreme outcome which no-one could of predicted, but what could have been predicted by anyone (who isn't a mouth breathing apathetic cunt-wit) is that there was never any positive outcomes for this 'prank'
To sum up, calling a hospital is not the same as phone jacker fucking with a cold caller. -

Registered 6 years agoI'm sorry but putting aside the tragedy of the whole situation, a woman decided that it would be better to leave her two children grow up motherless than put up with some humiliation for a while. That is just crazy!
I can't see how any sane person would ever come to that conclusion. -

I see your points, and I suppose I agree that a hospital is maybe out of bounds, but still, even if I admit they were being stupid, I don't see them as being responsible. She obviously had mental health issues.CosmicFuzz wrote:

There was an article on this before she'd killed herself where someone that'd been comforting and reassuring her said she would talk of being "lonely and confused"
even if I admit they were being stupid, I don't see them as being responsible. She obviously had mental health issues.
From her perspective this was shame/embarrassment/worthlessness multiplied by 100 because of worldwide coverage. It's incredibly dissmissive and unfair to call her mental, we can't begin to understand how this would feel. -

Registered 6 years agoI have to disagree to those saying the radio djs caused her death. That's completely ludicrous. A reasonable person wouldn't have killed themselves after being a victim of that prank. Her decision to kill herself broke the chain of causation. Was it a stupid prank? Yes. Were they jerks etc? Maybe. But even if so, they still didn't cause her death. She caused it. -

Actually, they can. The prank call wasn't live, it was pre recorded and check over and edited to maximise the 'hilarity'. The radio station and presenters also boasted about it after it was broadcast, and repeatedly played the clip during trails between songs. They were clearly proud of what they did up to the tragic events of yesterday, and now all of a sudden it was 'just a prank'.CosmicFuzz wrote:
