I Would Like To Meet The Tilting Wheelchair Inventor
09/15/2009
I would have to bet that many people who are wheelchair bound are extremely excited about the new tilting wheelchair device that allows them to stay in their wheelchairs during regular visits to their doctors. I know that my mother is thrilled that it will not take three people to have to lift her into an exam chair anymore.
I am just hoping that all of the doctors, dentists and other health care providers find out about these soon. This has got to be something that would make everyone’s jobs easier, not just the doctors. I would suspect that the nurses would also welcome the tilting wheelchair device in the office as well.
My mother has expressed that every time that she had to be lifted in and out of her chair that she was always scared of falling. This device will take the worry out of every wheelchair bound person who has ever felt that way.
I would love to meet the people who are responsible for coming up with this, and find out if they themselves are wheelchair bound or have family that are. If they have neither, then just coming up with the tilting wheelchair device was genius on their part if they have never experienced being lifted in or out of a chair, or had to do the lifting themselves.
