Figure 3.13: annotation of s 3 The discussion of ‘breaking into’ the text has been tedious because it is necessary to set out in minute detail what the experienced reader and analyst scans in seconds, virtually instantaneously, so that the process can be examined. Language skills (in terms of grammar and general/specialist vocabulary) are united with an understanding of drafting, structure and scope of the law. Figure 3.15, below, sets out s 3 in full; study it carefully and be sure that textual intraconnections are understood. Note that, as in Figure 3.13, above, certain words have been outlined. This is to highlight the fact that the key to understanding statutory language and structure is to pay strict attention to grammatical clues as already indicated. In addition, it is vital consistently to look for the prepositional links. Words such as: (a) to; or;

“My patient refuses thickened liquids, should I discharge them from my caseload?” A version of this question appears at least weekly on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Community pages. People talk of respecting the patient's right to be non-compliant with speech-language pathology recommendations. We challenge use of the word “respect” and calling a patient “non-compliant” in the same sentence: does use of the latter term preclude the former? In this article we will share our reflections on why we are interested in these so called “ethical challenges” from a personal case level to what our professional duty requires of us. Our proposal is that the problems that we encounter are less to do with ethical or moral puzzles and usually due to inadequate communication. We will outline resources that clinicians may use to support their work from what seems to be a straightforward case to those that are mired in complexity. And we will tackle fears and facts regarding litigation and the law.
