I am from india. From what i have read from forums, I feel doctors here in India are not have interactive with patients. May be because of the shere Patient/doctor Ratio. He had a Free Flap reconstruction and had a feeding tube through his mouth. First we were told to feed him through the Tube. After 10 Days were were told to start giving him spoon full of water and see if can gulp it down. gradually it was increased to 500 ml. As soon as he was up to 1.5 ltr per day the doctors removed the PEG. We have been told that we can give anything that is crushed enough so that he can gulp down. Currently he is consuming 1.5 ltr of cow milk, about 6 scoops of ensure, rice boiled and mashed in milk. I dont think he is getting enough calories in.
