  1. This is very true Kev............i find that even health workers in many cases just know nothing about 'Laryengectomees'' the scariest thing is they dont realise i'm a Neck-Breather......
  2. Wife tried to sort my prescriptions out today.......at the Doctors...something she has done for 5 years (since my Larengectomy )....our doc's have always been excellent,, however today was somewhat different......... They insisted they couldn't discuss this with her...... which i find crazy... They told her to get me to ring them.....a Laryengectomee cannot speak without an aid fitted and trying to talk on the phone and be understood is practically impossible......which the wife informed them of........ Next came the suggestion i send them a letter.......
