If she was on a ventilator can she even talk this soon? If she does have the ability to talk I doubt she will since she previously refused to talk to LE when the questioning got serious.
She would likely have a difficult time talking, but what we do is communicate by asking pt to write answers if throat too painful. People usually have a painful/sore throat after being extubated, but she was extubated so quickly, if she even was intubated. Idk... something doesn't quite add up.
