Everyone knows no one needing a wheelchair gets an ultrasound!

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

Nah, some of hospitals have bizarre "all patients must be in wheelchairs when moving from one area to another" policies. I don't know why.

Oh, I didn't know that. Though maybe that's why I was put in a wheelchair when I broke my hand in first grade?

Of course, that only makes it weirder that part of the hospital would be inaccessible.
