Whenever you get new (or replacement) equipment, ask to be shown how it works.</i><br /><br />Actually, you don't have a choice; some jobsworth has decided you <i>will</i> be shown how to use it, so they can tick a box and get their brownie points.<br /><br />And if all that wasn't monstrous enough, here's an extract from their information for carers:<br /><i>If you're looking after someone on a temporary basis, you might want to borrow equipment. Your local Red Cross can often lend you wheelchairs and other equipment for short periods.</i><br /><b>For crying out loud, you're the National Health <i>Service!</i> Isn't it your job to help with medical needs?</b><br /><br />Sorry - just had to get that off my chest.Macheathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451439759398780345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565737623121795004.post-59716089140664661862010-03-07T11:08:48.642+00:002010-03-07T11:08:48.642+00:00"efore they let you out with the nice shiny f...<i>"efore they let you out with the nice shiny frame, you have to be trained in its use.
