I strained my lower back during a routine lift-assist. My unit [REDACTED] was dispatched to the 5 star for a pt at about [REDACTED] and we were on scene around [REDACTED]. Pt was prone on his floor. My partner and I were able to roll pt onto his side and then supine. From that position we sat pt up and attempted to lift him with myself in front and my partner in back. While getting pt to his feet I strained my lower back but successfully got pt to bed before transferring him to his wheelchair.
