"But Chelsea ultimately wanted to eat and drink normally, to spit, to swallow a pill, to close his mouth—and, most of all, he said, to kiss Ebony on the cheek."

Teamwork makes the dream work. Lucky to be part of the incredible team helping Robert accomplish his goals!

Robert Chelsea turned down the first face he was offered. It had belonged to a man with skin that was much fairer.

It took more than a year for Chelsea to get a second call. He’s the first African American to receive a face transplant https://t.co/DeHNNjzAR8

A big win preceded by numerous losses. Very grateful to an amazing group of past, present, and future mentors who kindly encouraged me to persevere. I can’t wait to do this work and to help center patient voices in dysphagia management.

Very proud of this interdisciplinary work that was published in Experimental Brain Research: https://t.co/uscnXq0RqS We used novel conceptual and methodological approaches to show how activity-induced neuroplasticity can impact speech performance. @SFDLab @TJK_BRL @IHPResearch

To provide care that matters we need to ask what matters ❤️❤️❤️

1/ 🧵Wisdom in Medicine

What’s going on here? And why it’s key in #COVID19

It’s quite simple: we finally had the #wisdom to ask Mr. D the right question! He and his wife encouraged us to use this picture to teach what we learned.

I just ❤ this. No SLPs involved, but a great example of how much eating can mean and why considering patient preferences for eating is so very important.

My patient died the other day. One often described as “cantankerous" and known for his legendary cuss-outs and kick-outs from his room.

And one who was sick.

"Cantankerous" by definition is:

bad-tempered
argumentative
uncooperative

A bad rap if you're a patient.

Yup.
