Joined: May 2012 Posts: 47 | I finally went to ER at Toronto General yesterday. After a 7 hour wait, I was seen by the ENT senior resident who checked the throat with a scope and found everything the way they should be, very red as a result of the radiation, except the lining where the trach used to be was all swollen, likely due to the change of the removal of the trach. He didn't think anything needs to be done, just let it heal by itself. So I was relieved to learned that there wasn't anything more serious.
