This started when I was trying to find
out what one calls the rolling, positionable height & sitting
angle, stretcher-like do-dad they carry the semi-living into and the
hopelessly horizontal out of these drooling academies.
Euphemisms are fun for those that like
black (not the people, the attitude) humor.
Drooling academy: rest home
rest home: old age home
old age home: retirement home
retirement home: where one goes when
everything has been stolen
pauper's home: geriatric center
geriatric center: storage facility for
useless old farts
elder care: warehouse for the
soon-to-be-on-ice
impaired care: butt-plug heaven
557,000 hits for “euphemisms for
old age homes” in Google. These are just my black humor
thoughts, the listings for “homes for the hopeless” goes beyond
depressing.
All of the domiciles racing to the
bottom to meet the government
mandated minimum standards.
Good book, it'll make one wish for the
alternative. Makes one wonder why one strives so hard in life only to
find at the end, not a single thing one did was worth any more than
the contributions of an ant. “Living” with the “contributions”
of the wetbacks in Albuquerque
and the utterly brainless crack-head “bruthas”
in Lake City to my health and well-being has given me a wonderful
view of “human” life.
As far as the meat carts, these names
for the devices came from just one vendor, Cross. Euphemized to
death.
I'm tired of this game, think I'll go play “balloon toss” with
some of the brighter pieces of meat.
Roll-in stretcher trolley - Stretcher/Transport chair - Roll-in trolley with Stretcher - Self loading chromed stretcher with Twist system - Self loading stretcher, adjustable heights - Stretcher with adjustable heights - Roll-in cot - Roll-in stretcher
I'll
be riding another one of those again soon enough, next time with the
blanket pulled a bit higher. No real name apparently, tried multiple
sources plus asked a number of nurses here. No consensus but the too
generic “stretcher” so I'll start one -
Meat
Evacuation
Handler
...two
model STX 702 restraint straps are provided with the Cross
Stretcher/Transport chair.
Why only two restraint
straps? Where's the Thorazine hose?
