I have encountered many types of medical negligence

Being a nursing administrator in the medical field for many years, I have encountered many types of medical negligence. The majority of it unfortunately seems to fall upon the elderly. Care for the elderly is very important but often neglected. More often than not it is lack of communication or poor training of medical staff. A lot of assisted living facilities are staffed by CNA’s and some states only require that a CNA pass the state exam in order to become a Certified Nursing Assistant, and this only requires a 6 hour class. This really does not prepare the CNA for what really to expect in the real medical world, which often leads to clinical negligence. If medical staff were better trained and there was better communication between night and day staff a lot of negligent behaviour could be avoided entirely.
