Since the early nineteenth century, physicians have been offering the tracheostomy as a second chance at life. This procedure both saves and inextricably changes lives.

We must support the patients and their caregivers and utilize everything at our disposal to ensure that we are safeguarding their quality of life. / Urban Bioethics
