I have seen dumping trucks which are used in building and construction business. They load them with sand or stones and take them to the construction site. At the desired site, the park the truck and elevate the front of the container so that the contents are dumped on the ground. It is a motorized procedure. Some of the new trolleys supplied by the contractor are innovative, seem to be built on similar principles. They were like other trolleys initially. But they evolved with time. In the new state, when the trolley is raised by pumping on a foot pedal, the head end goes up, until it is so steep that the patient slides down the trolley.
"Sir, the patients will fall down from the trolley" the House Officer said when I saw this first.
"They do not come for repairing it" the Sister in charge said :despite repeated calls."
"As it is, there is shortage of servants for shifting patients" someone said, "the patient's relatives often have to pull the trolleys."
"Perhaps someone with out of the box thinking has developed these trolleys" someone else said. One just takes the trolley to the patient's bed, and raises the head end, so that the patient slides off and gets on the bed."
That sounded sarcastic, but perhaps it was the truth.
"Don't use it that way" I advised.
