    Provide a wheelchair with staff operated all the way out to the patient's vehicle if you need the seatbelts to keep them in the wheelchair, which I don't think is reasonable, but that would be a greatly help, you know, especially if they're trying to walk on a walking cane trying to get to the vehicle and got a bad knee. You know, a wheelchair would really make things nice. Thank you.
