Great wee straightforward myth-busting read from powerhouses in the field. Any of Palmer’s (esp BOLUS framework) and Leslie’s (esp ethics) work is well worth a read for any dysphagia clinician.
Another great read challenging the myth that tube feeding is always the ‘safer’ option, “…tube feeding is associated with significantly higher risks of pneumonia and depression, with mortality also trending higher”.
Thank you @sltros.bsky.social !

Sobering food for thought: “..SLPs..may not possess the knowledge necessary to adequately inform patients about the health outcomes associated with MTDs”. If we don’t know or communicate adequate information about MTDs to our patients, we are unable to fulfil our duty to obtain informed consent.
