I cannot bear it when people call a client’s mother - mum - I told mum / mum feels - I see it creeping into some of my students’ writing and discussions - does anyone have any evidence to back my feeling that this is patronising, disempowering & reinforces unhealthy power dynamic

Trying to figure out ways to play guitar and sing at the same time without a voicebox using an electrolarynx. It is more difficult than I thought to strum a guitar with an electrolarynx in my hand. I really should have been working on this more since my surgery.

It's important to make sure that your patients understand that they need to change their HME depending on their activity to ensure their lungs are getting enough humidified air.
Here's an useful graphic that you might want to share with them!
