The extra weight doesnt make much of a difference when you can raise and lower with one finger and go halfsies on putting it in.

The only time i really dislike them ia when we are taking someone home to a trailer who physically cant tolerate the stairchair.

I have never hated 3-4 stairs soooo much.

Not only manual, but broken old fashioned fernos.. Like, the patient sits down and the gurney collapses.. Thank god I left that service..

Our service has them too! Kinda. We only have like 4 or 5 total. And they are always having problems due to the heat and sand out here.

Heat? really? Sand I could totally see.

You guys have stair chairs also?? The word around here is we are supposed to have all power gurneys in about 2 years. And then stair chairs in about 5 years after that.

We have stair chairs. Not good ones. And i cant promise that a patient will not fall through when they sit on one. But they are stairchairs.

We've got the ballin' stair chairs with the tracks on the back :D

I resisted the Stryker power stretchers like crazy when we first got them a few years ago*. Now I despise the manual ones.

*the power Fernos are still a p.o.s.

One problem after another. First the brakes on my truck $750 to fix. Now my AC went out (no clue on how much that is gonna cost) and my tie rod ends still need to be replaced roughly $300.

Maybe later. I'm about to start a marathon reading session of Charlotte's Web.

The power is out and we are going to get these people through to bedtime.

Tornados all around us today.

Word from the management over at rancho is supposed to be all power gurney by end of Dec and stair chair next year at PS.

Who's stupid idea was it to get power gurneys before stair chairs anyway... Like really! I don't care, I prefer / like the manual's better.
