I have a mate who has MS ( he can only move his head ) and yesterday he had someone round to maintain his hoist. He was told he needs a new one because the one he has is too noisy and may damage his carers hearing !!, believe me it is no louder than a someone talking. Anyway, he said to the bloke that he will get his dad to put some oil on it. Oh No you wont he was told, the carers might slip on some of the oil if it drips on the floor..
fucking unbelievable
