It is so sad to see these things just sitting here doing no one any good when somebody could make good use from them!!!!
I'd be afraid of this thing! It looks like it a monster with jaws!
It gave some child another chance to get around and not lay in a bed all day!
It be nice to think this was salvaged for someone before they demolished this place.
Um...makes me think of a dinosaur.

Nice shot!
WOW THAT CHAIR IS SCARY!
The first thing I saw was the jaws
Sometimes wheelchairs or other assistive devices are not passed on to another person is because technology has come so far that these chairs are obsolete. New ones are lighter, easier to fold for transport, and are much more comfortable.

More likely is that Medicaid paid for this chair for a particular person, and it cannot legally be transferred to anyone else, even if the person no longer needs. Nor can anyone "profit" for the sale of something that was purchased by Medicaid funds, so that prohibits even selling them at state surplus property auctions.
Interesting. There needs to be a program instituted for the sale of this surplus. These things could be retooled and reused for those in need who don't even qualify for Medicare/Medicaid and thus fall through the cracks.
That DOES seem obscenely wasteful....Our tax dollars at work....
