SAN DIEGO (Feb. 1, 2021) Christine Parrish, a speech-language pathologist assigned to Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) (left), and Arnel Hermogino, a radiologic technician assigned to NMCSD’s Radiology Department (right), observe Ens. Ashley Watson (center) as she performs a swallow study Feb. 1. This swallow study was performed to observe the patient’s swallow mechanisms after surgery, and used a water-soluble contrast, which is specifically for patients with suspected perforation around the esophagus, as it can be absorbed into the body if a puncture is present. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way many facets of healthcare are conducted, and NMCSD has adapted some of its techniques and practices to keep both staff and patients safe while delivering the high-quality healthcare they’ve come to expect. NMCSD’s mission is to prepare service members to deploy in support of operational forces, deliver high quality healthcare services and shape the future of military medicine through education, training and research.
