McCormick wrote: "Imagine a three-hundred-bed Catholic hospital with all beds supporting PVS patients maintained for months, even years by gastrostomy tubes. Certainly, those Otolaryngology centers and individuals performing percutaneous placement of feeding gastrostomy tubes are fully equipped to complete the process by teaching and performing EGD.
