Erika talks with host April Reed about her 14+ years caring for head, neck and esophageal cancer patients, the patient whose question started it all, and why most people still leave the hospital with nothing but tape to manage their tube.
Erika is available for interviews, podcasts and speaking on patient-centered tube care, clinical innovation, and what patients need after they leave the hospital.
