Hi everybody

My belief is that radiologists prefer not to get involved in a team work 
generaly, as they prefer to work alone with their imaging panel...
However every one in a team can contribute to better conduct and 
interprete the study.
I think that "two pairs of eyes are better that one" and I reconfirm 
that almost everyday of my practicing VFS s
I would like to put a question though, regarding the more efficient 
study procedure.
My SLP prefers to report the study separetely from me. I prefer to reach 
the concesus  before the written report, reviewing together the video. 
If there is not a concesus reached, the SLP should have the 
responsibility of the patient's work up.
Any suggestions from everyday clinical practice?
