Because what happens is, is they find out that if they do the physical exertion that is needed to eat, it makes them worse.

They feel worse and they want to avoid that feeling.

And they bring them to the hospitals and the doctors say, well, they can eat.

Look, she can swallow.

She passed her swallow study.
