[Dysphagia] off-topic: cognition
I agree. Just assessed a pt. 2 yrs post onset and his wife observed for
the first time and saw the difficulty with the "money" tasks and he has
been going to the store. He also had considerable trouble with the
"copying the answering machine message" and took 8 tries to get the
PHONE no. They were planning to get an answering machine.
