This one might very well have been done already, but if it has, I've missed it. Please tell me if someone thinks it has already been done, and I'll terminate it. A false tragedy caused a real one. | ||

It took place last year would it have been possible for it to have taken place today? 10 years ago? 50 years ago? 100 years ago? 200 years ago? A thousand years ago? I believe it could have taken place at any time, as long as certain cultural elements were in place | ||

Is the relevant HAF famous? If so, was she famous before the incident? or because of it? Could this have taken place in any country? In only one specific country? Only in developed countries? Only in developing countries? Only in countries that speak a particular language? | ||

Did more people perform the false tragedy? Did the HAF take part in the false tragedy unwillingly? Was the purpose of the false tragedy to amuse the audience? To make a point? To get someone's attention to a problem? To get someone's help? | ||

Did more people perform the false tragedy? more people took part in it, yes, but I don't believe 'perform' is the best word, hence my yope above Did the HAF take part in the false tragedy unwillingly? yes Was the purpose of the false tragedy to amuse the audience? no, far from it To make a point? To get someone's attention to a problem? To get someone's help? no to all, and i think there might be a FA here | ||

Was the false tragedy the mistake itself? Are there two deaths involved (first - the false tragedy, second - the real tragedy)? Did the medical mistake concern pregnancy? Or childbirth? | ||

Was the false tragedy the mistake itself? hm, I'm not quite sure exactly what you're asking. I think it would be better to say that the mistake was the second tragedy, but if you rephrase I might be able to give a better answer Are there two deaths involved (first - the false tragedy, second - the real tragedy)? yope Did the medical mistake concern pregnancy? Or childbirth? no | ||

I feel confused about what belong to the false tragedy and what to the real one. Is the medical mistake a part of false tragedy? A real one? Did two people die in this puzzle? Did the medical mistake happen prior to the false tragedy? Prior to the real tragedy? The amount of time that elapsed between false and real tragedy: seconds? minutes? hours? days? weeks? months? years? Were the victims of false and real tragedy related? | ||

did someone try to correct something that wasn't really wrong? perform an operation? prescribe drugs? was the false tragedy in someone's mind? like a girl thinking her boobs were too small? or her nose too big? | ||

I feel confused about what belong to the false tragedy and what to the real one. That's no wonder, because they are closely linked, and the questions have moved a lot back and forth, making it mor confusing. I'll try to clear it up a bit: The false tragedy has to do with a medical mistake. Nobody dies in this tragedy - or else it would have been a REAL tragedy. However, because of the false tragedy, a real one occurs. And this REAL tragedy involves someone dying. Is the medical mistake a part of false tragedy? so that's a yes for this one A real one? Did two people die in this puzzle? no, only one Did the medical mistake happen prior to the false tragedy? it directly caused the false tragedy Prior to the real tragedy? yes The amount of time that elapsed between false and real tragedy: seconds? minutes? hours? possibly this days? or this (perhaps most likely) weeks? months? years? Were the victims of false and real tragedy related? yes, they were more or less exactly the same victims Hope this clarifies a bit! | ||
