Medical equipment should only be used by those who need it. When everyone in China who needs a power wheelchair has one, THEN they can be used by others.

Very scary but it works like a charm. 🙂- View 1 reply

Omg! I wish I could have used on one of these gadgets before I left Tokyo. I was so unlucky that I had problems with the elevators on the subways 2 times during my 6-day visit to Tokyo. They said there was no elevator at all in one of the stations and I had to use another line. On the other one, they said “we will help you to use the… Read more
