AfterFrank delivers the "package", a girl, the receiver gives him a briefcase to transport, which turns out to be a bomb to kill Frank. Fortunately, Frank is not in his car when the bomb explodes. So, he goes back to the receiver's house for revenge. In the process, he steals a car to escape in. The girl is already in the car, but Frank didn't see her at first. But, the last time we see her, she is tied to an office chair wheeling herself into a hallway after the fighting begins. When Frank finds her in the car, she is still tied to the chair.
In an underground parking of Miami, Florida, a band of young thugs accompanied by this unidentified girl decides to steal Frank Martin's car. She asks the help of the transporter, acting as though she needed help with a flat tire. When Frank replies he has an appointment and doesn't want to be loate, the carjacker points a gun at him and forces him to get out of the car. The rest of the band comes out of hiding and surround the car but Frank is able to easily subdue the thugs before turning to his would-be robber and asking her to "go do her homework". After failing to charm the transporter, the cowardly criminal surrenders her gun and runs away in tears.
Just normal strength with no issues like back problems should be able to handle it. I'm not particularly strong even though I'm not a 100 lb girl (I'm a bigger girl than that!), but those carts are in general pretty easy to maneuver and push around. Yes, even with a big fattie on them. I was able to push 400lb patients on enormous airbeds around the hospital for tests with only one other person to help "drive" so we didn't run into walls when I was working the ICU. As a transporter, you probably would mainly deal with the Stryker carts.
I did one day of orientation in transport. Wheelchairs (patient room to radiology, new admit, etc.) ICU transfers to telemetry, ED transfers to patient room. I would personally think twice about it. The ICU and ED carts are pretty big and bulky to move around. Trying to maneuver a big bed into a small hospital room and then transferring patient from bed to bed was difficult. FYI, all of our transporters at guys.
Being taller than your coworkers is a hindrance too. I swear to heavens that all my coworkers are three feet tall. For boosts and clean ups, I raise the bed to my height, they say, "HEY!" and lower it to their height, then I say "HEY!" and we compromise.
The Transporter (French: Le Transporteur) is a 2002 English-language French action film directed by Louis Leterrier[b] from a screenplay by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. The film, which was inspired by the short film series The Hire, is the first installment in the Transporter franchise and stars Jason Statham, alongside Shu Qi, Franois Berland, Matt Schulze, and Ric Young. In the film, Frank Martin, a British mercenary driver living in France, finds himself involved in a human trafficking plot.
In Nice, Frank is hired as the getaway driver for three bank robbers, but they have brought a fourth man. Explaining that the extra weight will affect his precisely planned escape, Frank refuses to drive until, in desperation, the leader kills and abandons one of his men. After evading police in a high-speed chase, the leader offers Frank more money to drive them to Avignon, but he refuses; the robbers flee in another car, but are foiled by their amateur driving. At Frank's villa on the French Riviera, local Police Inspector Tarconi questions him about his black BMW 735i, seen at the scene of the robbery, but Frank has carefully disposed of all evidence.
Frank is hired to deliver a 50 kilograms (110 lb) package to Darren "Wall Street" Bettencourt. While changing a flat tire, Frank realizes the package contains a person; he violates his third rule in order to give the captive something to drink, and discovers a woman bound and gagged. She attempts to escape, but Frank recaptures her and is forced to subdue two policemen who spot them. Frank delivers her to Wall Street as promised, and is given a briefcase to transport. As Frank stops to buy drinks for the cops in his trunk, a bomb in the briefcase explodes.
A vengeful Frank returns to Wall Street's villa, killing several henchmen and stealing a Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse, only to find "the package" hiding in the back seat. He brings the young woman, Lai, to his home, where she discovers he is a decorated former special operations soldier. Wall Street visits one of his surviving men in hospital, killing him after discovering Frank is alive. Tarconi questions Frank about the bombing of his car, which Frank claims was stolen, and Lai supports his alibi by introducing herself as his girlfriend. Tarconi leaves, and Wall Street's men attack the house with missiles and automatic weapons, but Frank and Lai narrowly escape through an underwater passage to a nearby safe house where Lai seduces Frank.
Later, while being questioned at the police station by Tarconi, Lai accesses his computer to find information on Wall Street. She reveals that he is a human trafficker with 400 Chinese immigrants trapped in shipping containers, and Frank reluctantly agrees to help. They confront Wall Street at his office, where Lai's father, Mr. Kwai, is revealed to be his partner in crime. Tarconi arrives as Wall Street subdues Frank and accuses him of kidnapping Lai, and Frank is arrested.
Tarconi suggests Frank take matters into his own hands, posing as his hostage to allow him to escape police custody. Recovering a weapons stash from his boat at the harbour of Cassis, Frank tracks the criminals to the Marseille docks, where the containers full of people depart on trucks. Chased to a bus depot, Frank fights his way through the thugs in a motor oil-drenched melee before escaping into the water. He steals an old car and gives chase at dawn before it breaks down, then commandeers a small airplane and parachutes down to the highway.
After a lengthy fight on the moving trucks, Frank throws Wall Street onto the road to his death (in the American version, Wall Street is thrown out of the truck onto the highway), only to be held at gunpoint by Kwai. He marches Frank to the edge of a cliff, but Lai shoots her father to save Frank, as Tarconi and the police rescue the people from the containers.
The film was cut to receive a PG-13 rating in the United States, and this version was also released in the United Kingdom and several other countries. Japan and France received the uncut versions. Certain sequences of violence were either cut or toned down for the PG-13 cut. These include:
The uncut fight on the bus can be seen in the "Extended Fight Sequences" on the North American DVD, but with no sound. The Japanese region-free Blu-ray cut of this film has the original uncut French version of the film. It also has several special features and deleted scenes. However, it does not include the North American special feature of the uncut fight scenes (with no sound). The uncut version of Transporter 2 is also included in this special boxed set.
Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an approval rating of 54% based on 128reviews, with an average rating of 5.6/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "The Transporter delivers the action at the expense of coherent storytelling."[8] At Metacritic, the film received a weighted average score of 51 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[9] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.[10]
Manohla Dargis, of the Los Angeles Times, complimented the action, saying, "[Statham] certainly seems equipped to develop into a mid-weight alternative to Vin Diesel. That's particularly true if he keeps working with director Corey Yuen, a Hong Kong action veteran whose talent for hand-to-hand mayhem is truly something to see."[11] Roger Ebert wrote, "Too much action brings the movie to a dead standstill."[12] Eric Harrison, of the Houston Chronicle, said, "It's junk with a capital J. The sooner you realize that, the more quickly you can settle down to enjoying it."[13]

Creatine transporter deficiency (CTD), caused by pathogenic variants in SLC6A8, is the second most common cause of X-linked intellectual disability. Symptoms include intellectual disability, epilepsy, and behavioral disorders and are caused by reduced cerebral creatine levels. Targeted treatment with oral supplementation is available, however the treatment efficacy is still being investigated. There are clinical and theoretical indications that heterozygous females with CTD respond better to supplementation treatment than hemizygous males. Unfortunately, heterozygous females with CTD often have more subtle and uncharacteristic clinical and biochemical phenotypes, rendering diagnosis more difficult. We report a new female case who presented with learning disabilities and seizures. After determining the diagnosis with molecular genetic testing confirmed by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS), the patient was treated with supplementation treatment including creatine, arginine, and glycine. After 28 months of treatment, the patient showed prominent clinical improvement and increased creatine levels in the brain. Furthermore, we provide a review of the 32 female cases reported in the current literature including a description of phenotypes, genotypes, diagnostic approaches, and effects of supplementation treatment. Based on this, we find that supplementation treatment should be tested in heterozygous female patients with CTD, and a prospective treatment underlines the importance of diagnosing these patients. The diagnosis should be suspected in a broad clinical spectrum of female patients and can only be made by molecular genetic testing. 1H-MRS of cerebral creatine levels is essential for establishing the diagnosis in females, and especially valuable when assessing variants of unknown significance.
