My Doctor Said I Must Stay Lying Down During the Trip. Can Aero NEMT Help?

Summary
Need to remain lying down while traveling to a medical appointment? Learn how Aero NEMT’s Stretcher Transportation service supports patients who cannot safely travel in a seated position.

Richard:

Hello! I recently had back surgery, and my doctor told me I shouldn’t sit upright for long periods during the trip to my follow-up appointment.

Can Aero NEMT help someone in my situation?

Aero NEMT:

Hello, Richard!

Yes.

Our Stretcher Transportation service is designed for patients who need to remain lying down during transportation because of their medical condition or their healthcare provider’s instructions.

Richard:

My wife was worried we’d have to call an ambulance just to get me to my appointment.

Aero NEMT:

That’s a common question.

If your appointment is scheduled and you don’t require emergency medical care, Stretcher Transportation may be an appropriate option depending on your individual transportation needs.

Richard:

I’ll probably have several follow-up appointments over the next few weeks.

Can I use the service each time?

Aero NEMT:

Absolutely.

Many patients use Stretcher Transportation for follow-up appointments, rehabilitation visits, specialist consultations, diagnostic testing, and other scheduled healthcare services while recovering.

Richard:

This is my first time arranging stretcher transportation.

Do you have any information that explains how it works?

Aero NEMT:

Certainly.

We’ve published several educational resources to help patients understand Stretcher Transportation, Non-Emergency Medical Transportation, and what to expect when preparing for scheduled medical travel.
