Description: Fingers point in all directions around the words, 'Apportioning blame?' and the names of people and things that may have played a role in the suicide of hospital worker, Jacintha Saldanha. Refers to the prank phone call by Australian radio hosts impersonating Queen Elizabeth II, asking hospital staff about the condition of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, who was hospitalised for severe morning sickness. The DJs, from Sydney's 2Day FM station, succeeded in getting through to Kate's private nurse at King Edward VII Hospital and had a brief conversation that included some details of her condition. The nurse who answered the phone and transferred the call to Kate's private nurse, committed suicide three days later, sparking international outrage against the DJs.
