I was keenly aware of them when I was in a larger acute care rehabilitation center but not in the individual SNFs I frequently work PRN in. I think that some issues that we frequently address on the floor (e.g., carrying out the SLP recommendations by staff members etc.) could be assisted by an ethics committee review so that it becomes an institutional discussion rather than a tug of war on the floor."  L.M.

The most interesting part that I learned was about the sense of taste and how bitter is sensed at the back of the tongue near the throat, and that poisons have a bitter taste. So it is as if we were innately made to safeguard against swallowing unsafe things like poison by reacting to the bitter taste and then gagging or spitting it out.

We tried more testing, diets, and medications to no avail. At age 14, he went on Neocate and no food for 6 weeks and finally saw remission.
