Also those medical workers who push pull large HEAVY ultrasound equipment to EACH patients room , move extensive heavy furniture to fit equipment , or the alternative those same medical workers required to transport 15 patients a day by wheel chair most weighing over 200 lbs which would thus require they actually push these patients 30 times a day ( to the lab to scan, then assist on to stretcher to scan , assist off the stretcher and then push back to room and then assist again onto their bed in the patients room ) Injury producing , YOU BTECHA ! It does not effect those not doing it, those not doing it should try that out for years day in and day out , pretty soon they can't even move their own bodies due to injury !
