Eating & Drinking IS emotive 🥛. Yesterday I did a swallow assessment with someone who was Nil by Mouth for 78 days in #CovidITU with a #tracheostomy. A big burly man. He cried. Moments like this make you really feel like you make a difference. #sltpeeps @BHRUT_SLT
The patients perspective: dysphagia with a tracheostomy One theme raised - Eating and drinking IS emotive: [when talking about a FEES] “I almost cried after putting food in my mouth for the first time after so long” #tracheostomy #dysphagia #slpeeps #ITS6 @LNWH_SLT @ITC_Trachy
