Care of the Elderly

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-15293747

This article is basically just different people from the public's opinions on how elderly people are being treated in hospitals. A few being nurses themselves in that area. I found out the elderly people are being more discriminated against than other ages in hospitals in the way that there is a lacking of staff, especially in winter time, and that the nurses struggle to keep up with it. I found out that the nurses themselves were not surprised by reports on the treating of elderly people and that they worry about being treated the same way when they get older. I found our from two of the public stories  said that it was "unsafe" and people were generally disgusted with how the elderly are treated, especially a that age they need more care and attention, and their dignity wasn't as much taken into account.
