Say YES to NMES for Dysphagia
Kimberly Gomez - My very first VitalStim patient.
Kimberly Gomez is an SLP and Rehab Director for a SNF/LTC facility in Amarillo, Texas. Kimberly discusses the success she had with her VERY FIRST VitalStim patient. A retired chef who had months of traditional therapy but could still not initiate a swallow. With both he and his wife dealing with serious depression and even saying he would rather die than not be able to eat, Kimberly uses her newly acquired training to get him eating a steak and drinking a beer with his wife. She also recounts a post COVID patient who had nearly died. Weak and miserable, Kimberly helps him and his wife get back to their passion of RVing and attending festivals.
