Amoung Throckmorton's many accomplishments in medicine, the sign that bears his name carries the greatest legacy. Just as his radiographic sign has helped many a trauma surgeon and ER physician rapidly identify a serious medical problem, it is hoped that his other signs will alert the voting public of other things that are seriously wrong with our medical and legal systems.

Bobcat
My back is killing me. Sometimes it doesnt matter how many people you have to move a patient, especially when they have all their monitors and drips. Just trying to push a wieghted down ICU bed is a struggle. I was at the local lumber yard and saw someone moving a bunch of heavy duty carts. He pulled them along with a bobcat, put them where he needed them and then filled them with the bucket. It was awesome. I wonder if you can get a Bobcat into the hospital. I was thinking about a fork lift as well but with a Bobcat you load and move all that other stuff. Better yet, what if hospital beds where made by Bobcat? Each bed would be like an industrial hover-round with a winch, scoop bucket and a hydrolic lift system that you turn around real quick and easily. Press a lever and you could load and unload. When the pateints are alert they could drive themselves around.
Hi Throckmorton - If only. I now that is hard on med staff and emergency crews.
