Maybe it's been a long day, so I got no energy to join the scuffle. What about some sources to read on a rainy day? Also, is loss of speech the dysphasia you mention?
Many folks have swallow issues and do dilation and have various issues with food sticking and aspiration sort of stuff. It is pretty hard to recollect many posts describing loss of voice unless it is related to trach kinds of things.
If we are talking about loss of voice, personally, based on anecdotal reference, it is not much of a argument to add to the PEG discussion, in that the occurrence is so rare. Now, if the data shows that swallow issues are related to PEG, then let's hit the octagon!!!!!!!!!!
