Re: Hospital Backaches.
Actually, we are not supposed to lift anyone these days. We use the 'Pat-Slide' this is a long, thin plastic board which we place partially under the patient, we roll patients to do this. Half of the pat slide will be on the trolley, the other half on the bed. We then slide the patient across on the sheet they are lying on. There is always a sheet on an ambulance trolley, thus saving our backs.
