Where the blazes was this team in 2020 while my husband was taking a week to pass away in the P.C.U.?. My family and I was too griefstricken to even ask or think about a chaplain and the staff never let us know such a service existed and none of the chaplains showed up in P.C,U., anyway
Swallowing seems simple, but it's actually pretty complicated - it takes your brain, several nerves and muscles, two muscular valves and an open, unconstricted oesophagus for it to work harmoniously.
Following a stroke, a person's speech and swallowing abilities are often affected, which is where TPCH speech pathologist Pip steps in to provide speech and language therapy and help patients to learn new swallowing techniques. 🤗
"I am especially passionate about advocating for patients with communication impairments to receive the best care and treatment possible," Pip said.
"I really value being able to make a positive difference to the outcomes of patients during their rehabilitation stay and seeing their improvement throughout their admission."
