Elder Medical Neglect Happens in Hospital
The elderly do not heal as fast as the young, so a fall and its consequences can be quite literally a grave matter. Are the elderly abused instead of cared for in their time of helplessness even at King's Daughters Medical Center?
An elderly person developed bed soars while hospitalized for two weeks. The bedsores were the result of her body not being turned side to side on a continual basis.
