Read this article, then tell me, why you think this might be a 'culture' related death.

Why was a nurse manning the hospital's main switchboard in an Exclusive London Hospital?
Hospital management might like to answer this question for us.
She was a qualified nurse, not a switchboard operator...now it's clear why she may have unwittingly breeched switchboard protocol, after all, she was not a switchboard operator.
This Indian nurse was estranged from her family, they (her children and husband) were living in Bristol and she would return home for holidays and provide for them financially when not living in nurse accommodation in London.
This in itself sounds rather depressing.
Language may have been a barrier also, I wonder how long she'd been living in London before this incident?
Already we are seeing a picture, of which smacks of familial dysfunction...... a 40 something year old mother leaves her children aged 10 and 12 (at the time she first commenced living away from home ) to live in nursing accommodation, something normally reserved for single young staff members who are just starting out in life this and don't have family commitments.
The couple bought their £123,000 three-bedroomed home in 2005 in the Westbury-on-Trym district of Bristol.
After registering as a nurse in 2003 when she initially worked for the North Bristol NHS Trust, which runs Frenchay and Southmead hospitals, it is believed the nurse chose to apply for a job at King Edward four years ago and appears to have been living in the nursing accommodation ever since.
She has a son called Junal, 16, and daughter, believed to be 14. She stayed in London when she was working before returning to her family on days off.
Mrs Saldanha is thought to have been from the Mangalore region of India. She is thought to have spent time in the Middle East before moving to Britain.
She's a nurse, and her presumably estranged husband is an accountant.
