Oh my! The WC business can really get me going, since I have been looking at my
new chair sitting in my apt. for 3 yrs this Dec 18. I have even asked for a
chin drive since I haven't been able to work the majatik system. I have loved
my Quickie for 11yrs, I have replaced the wheels 2 times & never replaced the
batteries. It has been around the block many times & I only charge it every 3
or 4 days or if the battery lights are low. So John you are right on the money
regarding the Quickie! There are bad DME's, but most of the ones that I have
used has not taken enough time to help fit me to the right chair. I would never
go back to Hamilton Technology in Indy, very poor service. So far National
Seating in So Bend hasn't done much better although they have cleaned house in
that office so the verdict is still out on that one. The new tech seems to want
my new chair fixed & he told me he has not worked on too many Pride chairs &
never on Majitek, that he is more of a Quickie & Permobile man, so keep your
fingers crossed. In Indiana, with Medicaid & Medicare you can get an Ibot &
Permobile, if you have the right DME that knows the right codes to order the
chair. We had 2 people with Ibots at our Governors Conference last month.
