Here is the rare, slightly annoying, rah-rah tweet from me. Just got off the phone with one of our speech pathologists. It is a privilege to work with so many gifted, dedicated, incredibly smart, "affiliated healthcare professionals" these days. We are all better for it.
In consultant notes, I often notice a disconnect btw doc’s reporting of the patient’s symptom severity and what the same patient later reports to me. I'm sure I'm equally guilty of downgrading people’s reported symptoms (thus making my interventions seem more efficacious).
