I've only just come across this thread after a few days away. But I see no problems at all with it staying here in the Ambulance section. I think it's most relevant here, rather than getting lost in General or Off-Topic.

It is very dark.
You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
I have noticed a newer model stretcher being used by the mainstream service the Ferno 50 easy loader while visiting a nurse at Charles. I was taught how to use a older model Ferno Washington stretcher [the non hydraulic one] while on the job in a service however have not been fortunate enough to try out this new series.
It would be great if anyone has a safe operation and lifting guide, common mistakes, warnings for the Ferno 50 easy loader & prior in service series if you could post it up on the forum. This would make a great addition to this thread.

Have started this topic to allow pre-hospital students to ask questions and post links to resources. Myself being new to the industry this would be a great way of getting questions answered and finding those much needed resources.
