This is a question/issue often not addressed and just "swept into the closet" (PUN intended)

Ms. Groot has been a forensic nurse since the late 90's and a forensic nurse examiner for over 5 years. She specializes in domestic violence, elder abuse, sexual assault and homicides related to these issues. She is an experienced operating room, intensive care and flight nurse and has worked with the elderly population for over 20 years. She is well-versed in nursing home care and procedures and Veteran Administration patient care. She has testified professionally as an expert witness in San Diego County and has also testified or consulted in other Southern California, Arizona and Federal Courts. She consults with prosecution (district attorneys) and defense attorneys, as well as private clients. She is a proponent and advocate of forensic awareness and lectures on this and other subjects here and abroad. She has been a forensic consultant to the Undersecretary of Health, Veteran's Affairs, in the area of suspicious deaths and near-miss events.
Ms. Groot believes that chain of evidence integrity continues well past the forensic exam, evidence collection and impound, law enforcement and district attorney/defense attorney case handling and expert testimony and case closure with prosecution or other means.
Major Groot is retired from the US Air Force. Her last position was aeromedical flight nurse and her last deployment was Iraqi Freedom/Enduring Freedom. Her job was caring for and transporting the wounded and injured from Iraq, Kuwait, and other countries.
