Alternatively, a stretcher topping may be mounted upon a laterally slidable storage compartment that may be affixed to the support frame. The stretcher topping includes a seat base assembly having a removable seat panel stacked upon a potty panel with an aperture formed therethrough and opening into the storage compartment. The potty panel allows for evacuation of the patient while resting in the wheelchair. The seat base and the stretcher topping are configured for selectively raising and lowering the patient between first and second levels. At least one security beam is disposed on the wheelchair and may be configured as a hand hold for steadying the patient when transferring onto and off of the seat base.
