dysphasia or dysphagia (sm) TIA
Subject: dysphasia or dysphagia (sm) TIA

This is confusing.


Doc is making a referral to a speech therapist because patient is having difficulty with s/l dysphagia/dysphasia with apples and peanut butter.


Dysphagia relates to swallowing and dysphasia relates with speech. 


I think it would be dysphagia as he relates apples and peanut butter.  Does a speech therapist help with swallowing difficulties?

just remember s is for speech as in difficulty speaking, and g is for gut -getting the food to the gut difficulty swallowing. Probably in this case we're talking dysphagia. Use dysphasia for patients with difficulty speaking after stroke, etc.
