Wheelchair Disaster

The other day at the hospital where I volunteer, I had a night mare come true right before my very eyes. I was escorting a man down to radiology in a wheelchair. I was feeling quite happy and moving him along the corridors at a nice pace. When we reached our detination, to my horror, the man was stuck in the chair and could not budge. I put on the brake and tried to pull him out. Wow was that a mistake! I fell backwards onto the floor with a CRASH! when I finally got my composure, I looked up and the man still in the chair but with a rather frightened look on his face. To my relief the X-ray tech came running over to help. To make a long story short, the man had put his keys in his front pocket and they were wedged under the arm rest of the chair preventing him from getting up. We finally managed to get a hold of the keys and free the man from the chair. I always wondered what would happen to a person that was stuck in a wheelchair. Well, I found out the hard way. Needless to say, the man walked out of the hospital on his own with no help from me.
