This fucking heavy ass hospital door to the rheumatologist office

I had help entering but not exiting. Which means yes, I got stuck in there. Luckily I managed to get it about a foot open and holler for help until someone came and opened it but I injured myself in the process.

And this after I had to drive from my on-campus apartment to the on-campus library because they didn’t plow the sidewalks well enough for me to navigate them. At. All.

I can’t use stairs if its more than a couple of steps, my knees will give out and now I’m sprawled on the floor. With documentation of this, I was denied access to the elevator in my building during a fire drill. I had a coworker help me the rest of the way down because my left knee refused to support my weight. Someone else that worked in the building who uses a wheel chair was also denied the elevator and when the fire Marshal was doing his sweep, he found her on the 5th floor by herself. Wtf. Only reason I know is because when he was talking to us, I pointed out that I was denied the elevator and he brought that up. Unless the fire is effecting the elevators, they are to stay on during a fire. Period. And there’s multiple elevators through out the building so there was no reason for them all to be off.

At the most recent campus I worked on, I went to the ER for paperwork because of an exposure, and there was someone trapped outside the elevator room because the door was stupid heavy and they had crutches. I was able to get it open and we went up together, I talked to maintenance about it and they got a work order put in.
