Anyone that uses restraints is a bad,evil person. Especially those mothers using 5 point restraints on their children every time they put them in the car, or the nurses at the old folks home near you who restrain some residents when they use the toilet so that they don't fall off and break a hip. Bad, evil ...

I need to know something, if anybody can answer this, Was mental illness many years ago classified differently than it is now? I know we habe facillities today for people with mental problems but it just seems, to me anyway, that it was just so over-bearing years and years ago. Did thet put someone away for minor things? I guess there wasn't too much they could do for them back then, right?

Ambulance stretchers all have straps that go around the chest, waist, and legs of the patient. Their function is the same as a seat belt in a car; to protect the patient in the event of an accident.

Hey, EMTs and medical folks who also hang out here - don't most of your gurneys, especially emergency gurneys, have straps? I know most of the ones I am familiar with do, and that is for "regular health care" as well as mental health.

Dang, people sure get all het up about "restraints as evil devices", don't they? 8`-)
