In this episode of Down the Hatch, the swallowing podcast, co-hosts Alicia Vose and Ianessa Humbert have a conversation with Jim, who suffered a brainstem stroke, leading to swallowing problems. His very candid experience is the heart of why service delivery by Speech Language Pathologists who manage dysphagia does not just potentially impact life, but also LIVELIHOOD. This is a clip of his swallow when we started working with him, then 3 months later after he decided to finally begin eating after he was told never to eat again.
