wow: cheryl has raised an interesting point. Isn't it "weird" that in Canada the medical system appears to have the basics in place for PEGs, while I have not seen one USA poster saying how much information and options they got on their PEG. David1 is a perfect example of how even a strong inquisitive patient is kept in the dark. Now that Brian has added the country IDs subtitles, I keep noticing how some North Americans' medical care differs from others.
Speeches always need a few "soundbites" so here are my suggestions: Do you know the difference between a button and a tube? When you hear term "Mickey" do you think of Mouse or Orlando?
Please let us know how your speech went
