Talk:Robin T. Cotton

message: Seeing as no one voted against this article being deleted and seeing as the article has been better by many contributions I think it's a good time to take down that deletion sign. I am not sure if there is something about policy like we have to wait a week till voting is done or whatever, but if there is not one may I take that down?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cormacalian (talk • contribs) 04:45, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

message: RE: "Cotton has been given credit toward the help of Cincinnati Children's diagnosis and treatmeant of pediatric dysfunction in otolaryngology..." This still makes no sense. Perhaps its better to stick more to the original meaning of the citation: "Cotton and his colleagues have developed a world-renowned ENT program." -Medtopic 05:31, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: RE: "Through this interdisciplinary approach, Cotton and his colleagues have developed a ENT program that has made it easier for many patients to get the diagonosis and treatment they need for swallowing and speech disorders, tracheoustomy surgery, cochlear implants, and other areas related with Otolaryngoly.[6]" The original meaning of the citation is this: "Cotton and his colleagues have developed a world-renowned ENT program." It does not state that "interdisciplinary approach" was responsible for that, nor does it state that the program made it easier for patients to get diagnosis and treatment. -Medtopic 22:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

text: The citation is lisintg the different diagonosises that the team does. "Through this interdisciplinary approach, Cotton and his colleagues have developed a ENT program that has made it easier for many patients to get... is taken from the earlier sentence about the interdisciplinary approach. Cotton works closely with team of doctors who specialize in areas including cardiology, immunology, neurology, pulmonary, and other fields depending on the individual patient.[5] So we already have a citation about how the interdisciplinary has made things easier when it states Families are relieved of the burden of arranging multiple appointments with physicians. They are also relieved of the additional stress created by long waiting times in physicians' offices and lack of communication among physicians caring for their child. (See citation [5]). Seems a little redudant to me to cite the same thing over and over. -Cormacalian 16:56 29 June (UTC)

RE: "Cotton, who was called one of the "World's Best Doctors" by HealthNews[7],..." Two points: 1) The link says nothing about best in the world, and 2) UC's HealthNews only reported the distinction. -Medtopic 22:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I tried to fix this and put it in context, but I decided against including a better description of the basis for the award, since that is available at the reference.  Personally, I don't think the distinction is all that worthy of inclusion in the article, since it's doesn't seem to be that unique of one. Peyna 22:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

RE: "Cotton attributes his successful work not only to himself but a team of doctors who specialize in areas including cardiology, immunology, neurology, pulmonary, and other fields depending on the individual patient.[5]" It very well might be true, but the link does not state that "Cotton attributes his successful work" to those things. -Medtopic 22:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
