Re: Hospital Backaches.

On one of my coach trips I met an ex nurse who was severely disabled with a back injury caused by decades of lifting patients. She had crutches and a mobility scooter.
I believe they have training in lifting but no matter how skilled you are at it, it must take its toll over a long period of time. As the population gets more obese it must be VERY difficult for nursing staff and hospital porters.
