[DYSPHAGIA] what's happening to our profession?

[Mawcbw@aol.com (Mawcbw@aol.com)]

This may not be the right forum for this subject, but I thought I'd give it a 
chance. I am an SLP working in a large county hospital in a metropolitan city 
in the West.  We've all seen the results of PPS to SNF's in our country and 
know what aweful things have taken place with patient care and job security.  
Is it possible that the same results will occur when PPS takes over Rehab in 
the next few years?  Will we all be out of jobs?  Since the field of Speech 
Pathology is so increadibly specialized we are basically trained to do 
nothing besides Speech Pathology.  I'd like to know what other institutions 
are experiencing with this and how are you all preparing for this drastic 
change?

Thank you for your input!
