Filthy

Filthy

A particularly dirty wheelchair... it looked like plastic was added on one of the footrests to compensate for supporting a shorter leg.

Yeppers, that's correct. You are learning your adaptive equipment, Mssr. Motts!

wow, there's an outline of what looks to be the small of someone's back in the chair. Almost like the dust just gathered around them....

What is the thought process when these places are closed? Just leave it there to rot until a developer comes along to offer millions to tear it down? Maybe that WAS the plan?

Really, when you look around, this whole country can be very wasteful. So many people can't afford medical equipment and this stuff is just rotting away.

Then someone should take "the surprisingly new" things out of there and make use of them elsewhere.

I believe because of the materials used and the lack of arms, etcetera, that this might probably have been a bath chair. I've seen more modern versions in the therapy units where we take my little sister who is mentally retarded and developmentally delayed. Many of these chairs remain mostly in the shower stall or bathroom area and allow the kids to be washed before entering the pool or what have you.

I believe the plexi-glass seating would have maybe been used for patients with bowels problems it looks like easy clean up.

What were all those little bottles on the floor used for...they almost look like water bottles (sprts bottles) used when bike-riding...

Any thoughts Motts? Lynne? Anyone?
