If you strain really, really hard to remember, then I think you'll recall that I already pointed out that issue. But this is the first time you've caved in and admitted that the reflex is present at all; I suppose that's progress. Yes, it's entirely possible that she would have starved to death even with PO feedings, due to inadequate intake. Neither you nor I know that for sure, but it's certainly possible.
You propose providing nutrition, drop by drop, at the point where the reflex is triggered, risking aspiration? ... Oh, and your coma patients probably still possessed the cough reflex and the gag reflex such that if you f#@$ed up when feeding them they wouldn't die. Lucky you.
Your ignorance is showing again. You clearly have no idea how feedings work with comatose patients.
I am truly no longer interested in playing these games with you.
But we're making progress: you retracted one of the claims you had clung to most doggedly throughout this conversation. After taking one step on the path to mental clarity, why turn back now?
I retract nothing. But it is awfully nice of you to admit that your argument is specious and therefore moot.
