Kate Middleton 'must feel terrible' over nurse suicide, says UK doctor's union



Kate Middleton is likely feeling very upset in the wake of a nurse suicide, experts said Saturday. The spokesman for the British Medical Association, a registered trade union for UK doctors, believes the death of King Edward VII nurse, Jacintha Saldanha, must be weighing on the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge. "Kate must feel terrible. Of course this is not her fault, but she is now being linked with a suicide in people’s minds," the Express quotes Dr. Tom Frewin as saying.

Kate Middleton was being treated at King Edward VII Hospital earlier this week when a pair of Aussie DJs prank called the hospital posing as Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles seeking details about the Duchess' condition. “Medical staff should never disclose confidential information to anyone and people who answer the phone should have the correct training and not be put in this invidious position," Ferwin said suggesting HIPPA-like regulations be put into place in the UK. "The secretary of state should put together a set of measures to prevent this happening again; to any patient, not just a member of the Royal Family."

Kate Middleton spent three nights at King Edward VII Hospital in London where she was treated for acute morning sickness. Experts predict, due to the oddity of the circumstances, the Duchess of Cambridge will not hold onto long-term guilt or responsibility for the tragic outcome.

Sometimes they are strong people at the end of there rope, yes. It takes a hell of a lot of fortitude for an extremely depressed person to even hang on as long as they do if they are not getting adequate help. People are not weak for being mentally ill. It's not about emotional or mental strength. It's an illness and most people don't kill themselves because they want to die. A lot of the time they think the world would be better off without them, or they want the extreme pain to end and the only immediate thing they can think of is death. But, I don't expect you to even bother to understand this.

*hugs* Thanks for explaining this so well. That was the one thing I also forgot to mention in my reply where I talked about how you can often think the world will be better off without you.

After thirteen years of depression it does get heartbreakingly hard to keep going on and sometimes you do get suicidal thoughts simply because you can't imagine living the rest of your life feeling no joy or happiness in life. I mean I literally can just watch a TV show or read a book that I used to love and feel nothing but emptiness.
