Dave Hingsburger had a bad day. A very bad day. A day that should never have occurred - and yet does for so many of us far too frequently.
Dave was mistaken for his own luggage.
No, not like "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat." At least that behavior was excusable. Dave was ignored, patronized, treated like an inanimate object instead of a customer responding appropriately as his health and safety were being violated.
His account of being deprived of his wheelchair through bad service and a dishonest fellow passenger is best told in his own words. I can't help but give away his insightful conclusion first:
"Wheelchair bound" ... that's what people say of me."Wheelchair liberated" ... is what I am.
Or rather, what I was.
