Everyone knows no one needing a wheelchair gets an ultrasound!

[trouble]

Anyone want to help me figure out why the waiting area for ultrasounds at my local hospital isn't wheelchair accessible, being too narrow?

That's like the time I was in the dentist's office getting a panoramic xray of my jaw ... which was set up to do so with the patient standing, and couldn't be moved down past a certain height.

Because people in wheelchairs don't need panoramic xrays. Or kids. Or short people.

I had a similar experience at the dentist. I don't use a wheelchair but I do use a cane and the panoramic was set up so that I'd have to stand in the middle of this large room with no support. I was told my cane might "pose a problem." Fortunately, I can stand without it for a few minutes but for anyone in a chair or who can't stand without assistive devices, it was a mess.
