Wheelchair Frame Legal medical question, can you answer? See below.?
A student in our school has just had an operation to correct a defect in his lower leg and ankle (he has hemiplegia) and that part is currently wired and bolted into a frame that will be adjusted daily. We, as TAs in our school, have been asked to wheel him about- -in an especially adapted wheelchair-- from lesson to lesson and before they start and end so that the corridors are quiet.
We are really not happy about htis because we feel that should an accident, or incident occur whereby the student is injured, who would be held liable, us or the school?
This arrangement is meant to go on for the next six months. Your thoughts will be appreciated.
You would not be held liable - the school would. It's called "vicarious liability" which is the same for most workplaces. Employers are responsible for their employees.

Can one get arthritis/rheumatism before 50?
Recently joints hurt, both knees click and one elbow painful and feels weird and bony. Before always I was healthy. Was on Prozac for 6 months, stopped when told it can affect bones. Friend told me its irreversible and I will soon need Wheelchair or Zimmer Frame. True?
Cant sleep on knees, painfully click also when bend them. Even dull pain when walking.
I am 47.
History of chronic Drug, Alcohol, nicotineabuse, could this be the cause? Also feel tired and physically sick.
Sleep on knees by lying on your front - assume he means pressure on needs hurts - almost any arthritis sufferer will tell you that!
a) Go to your doctor.
b) If I say your friend is right, will you go to the doctor? Very much doubt you will need a wheelchair. This time 2 years ago I was unable to care for myself at all because I couldn't stand, and unable to sleep thorugh the night because having the covers on my knees hurt too much. Saw a rheumatologist, got disease modifying drugs and now walk with a stick, and am able to work again!
Think your friend might be scaremongering to get you to go to Doctor and be checked out.
Whether it's irreversible depends on what it is! There are over 200 different kinds of arthritis (referred to by laymen as 'rheumatism' which isn't a medical condition at all).
In short - yes possible to develop any kind of arthritis at any age. Unlikely your drug use plays a major part, but the tiredness and feeling sick could point more towards a virus or other autoimmune condition rather than RA or other arthritis. See your doctor. If it IS RA, it will get worse until you start on DM drugs - the sooner you get there the better it stays.
