Which simply proves our point. Michael was not interested in rehabbing Terri, he was interested in putting her down.

Swallow tests would have nothing to do with rehabbing.

You want to reconsider that statement Dave?

No, swallowing has to do with living.

Au Contraire my dear! Swallow tests have everything to do with rehab. Eating normally is sort of a requirement for daily life, would you not agree. People who cannot swallow have difficult times, choke to death etc.

Yes, they do. It's part of a speech pathology examination. The rehab would consist of speech therapy and easy to swallow foods. Speech and swallowing are intimately connected. For example, stroke patients' ability to do both are diminished immediately after a stroke; however, therapy builds that ability back up if the patient is receptive to therapy.
