"Team Approach"

RICHARD G. SKINNER JR. M.D.

I read with great interest the article in the March, 1956, issue of Pediatrics entitled "The President Comments." For some time I have been associated with the Florida Crippled Children's Commission, with the local United Cerebral Palsy Unit, and with a "Cleft Palate Team." In all of these endeavors we are faced with the problem of having 3 or 4 different physicians rendering care to the same child, and it is forever evident that the parent becomes confused. Different doctors say virtually the same thing but in a different way, and the parents tend to misinterpret what is said and get the impression that each doctor is telling them something different.
