[Dysphagia] Fluoro time and instructions



Hi,

A big thanks to all who responded with very useful and helpful information.
A quick update: I got to the bottom of everything and it seems that the Rad
misreported the time, it turned out to only be 3:20 instead of 11 minutes.
The 11 minutes came from the total time spent i.e. from 1st bolus to the
last swallow.

This has also highlighted a need for better communication between ourselves
and the Radiologists so I will be meeting with them this week to go over
what we want out of a study so that this kind of thing doesn't happen again
- especially getting zapped in the head/hand.

Thanks again to everyone.

Sharon
