The problem is that when you bring someone in on a joke and you have no idea about who they are or their struggles/mental health youre playing with fire.Its tragic and something that she should have never have been subjected to.

Yeah I agree that she didn't make any mistake. I think she was obviously not very well anyway and to be honest she could have already planned to commit suicide.

I've had my GP (receptionist) massively breach confidentiality to my sister and a friend once, who had manipulated her into giving them information. I was incredibly hurt, and it only reminded me why I hadn't trusted them with the information in the first place.

I don't understand why she would get punished for transferring a call. Why would she have faced trouble?

Thats really bad about your GP and also your sister!! Did you make a complaint to the GP practice?

I think the problem is who is supposed to establish whether the person on the other end of the phone is supposed to know what is going on? In a high profile case such as that, perhaps a password should be established?

I am really annoyed at the ridiculous amount of backlash there has been about the whole situation.
