I've got mixed feelings about this...
When it was reported that the nurse released information, the nurse was the one who was being side-eyed for her lack of judgement. But when a nurse (who didn't reveal info) commits suicide, it's the radio station who is now being criticized.
I certainly think it was a mistake for the deejays to make the prank call, and I suspect they will be reprimanded/punished by the radio station if they haven't already. But it doesn't seem entirely appropriate to me that the radio station would face a lawsuit. Perhaps that's just my personal feelings toward those who commit suicide coloring my judgement here, but the radio station couldn't have foreseen her reaction. Should the deejays be fired? Sure, I can see that. The radio station is accountable for poor decisions made by its employees, and terminating said employees is reasonable. But to hold the radio station accountable for a woman's suicide seems a bit much.
