WTF!!!???
This is really dangerous, really outdated advice. This is so bad, I literally thought it was a spoof. I was waiting for the punchline. Most of these moves were condemned as unsafe more than 30 years ago. There is a high risk of injury to both patients and staff using any of the techniques outlined here.

You should be ashamed of yourselves for posting this and should remove it immediately.
