It's critical that there is always a medically savvy family member in attendance at a patient's bedside in a hospital. There is much daily negligence and some outright abuse in some of our nation's finest hospitals, and it's all blamed on financial woes.

I believe this to be a widespread problem throughout the United States and it does relate to the financial pressures of cash-strapped hospitals.

There are way too many administrative "Clipboard Carriers" and not nearly enough nurses.

I agree.

"...There are way too many administrative "Clipboard Carriers" and not nearly enough nurses..."

True, but getting rid of all the administrative staff would not make a dent into solving anything. Unfortunately the problem has become too extensive for that solution.
