Neither are as good as being a medical doctor. You are just a helper.

My wife just got out of a rehab facility and she dealt with speech, occupational and respiratory therapists. Respiratory was the most critical because if you can’t breathe nothing else matters. That you can do with an Associates degree. Her speech and occupational therapists either had a BS or an MS. Masters is preferred, so you’re talking 6 years of school and a whole lot if tuition bills. I liked the work that the speech therapists did best. They worked with both of us. My wife has a trach tube in her throat so she can’t speak. The therapists taught her how to exaggerate her words so people could read her lips better. She taught me how to better understand my wife, who most often communicates by writing. She helped us communicate better with each other and that is very important in times when families are in crisis.
