Good to have you back Jerry. I have found that the physical therapists and speech therapists and the nurses all have a much better understanding of these issues than the doctors. Perhaps it's time for the med school curriculum to start encouraging their students to know what they don't know and start treating therapists and nurses as partners in helping patients instead of secondary providers.
