I am a clincial neuroscientist who has been treating patients of all ages  
and pathologies for almost thirty years. I also teach physicians, including  
radiologists re VFSS, SLPs, nurses, OTs, dietitians and others re swallowing,  
it's identification and management.I have published extensively and taught  
throughout North and South America and Europe. I have an extensive database much  
of which is published as an encyclopedia of causes of dysphagia, another on 
oral  lesions, medications and their effects on swallowing, as well as a 
clinical  assessment tool. The reason I cite relevant references, always, is that I 
prefer  to make the point that I am not simply offering off the top of my head 
opinion.  I sincerely wish that those who take issue with my contributions to 
this list,  that have been made over the pas ten years, would do me the same 
courtesy and  the the list members, the same courtesy. You may check my 
publications on  Medline.
