I am finding that alot here- but once I share some of the literature (we've made lots of copies of a few articles since this keeps coming up) as well as my clinical assessment I feel I am making small strides towards education about this... at least in my small hole of the world. suprising that med schools are still teaching that when there is research out there... well i guess not really that surprising. :)

Medical schools still teach tat gag=swallow. Maybe it's time to do some concerted education.

I had a doctor recently comment on a pt who presented with functional/unremarkable clinical evaluation, "pt does not have a gag, therefore would not cough during clinical evaluation". Am I missing something? Pt did consequently go for videoswallow per MD request to find results consistent with clinical evaluation.
Thanks.
