Yeah, a G-tube would be a lot more comfortable! I've cared for a
number of patients with those.

Scary thing I saw on a show about anorexics. This one anorexic they
were treating was a nurse and they had put a G-tube in her to feed
her, in addition to her oral food, and she was so hard core anorexic
she was purging the food she ate from her G-tube!

They had to remove her G-tube for that reason!
