Lalit Gohil, a coach driver who suffered severe injuries in an accident, frequently visits Northwick Park Hospital for physiotherapy. During these visits, he noted a severe shortage of bariatric wheelchairs, stating there are only two available at the hospital, which he feels is inadequate. Gohil emphasized the growing need for such equipment as many individuals struggle with weight issues and require wider chairs. Additionally, he mentioned that patients often hold onto wheelchairs for extended periods, exacerbating the accessibility issue.
So many people need it but trying to get a bariatric wheelchair in a big hospital like that is nearly impossible. Its highlighted that many people in this country are putting on weight and there are quite big people nowadays who can't use normal size wheelchairs.
I have an underactive thyroid - just looking at food makes me put on weight. I think about all the patients coming in. I want the change for all the people who suffer silently.
