In a previous discussion about endoscopic necrosectomy I mentioned I tell my pts to drink plenty of papaya or🍍 juice. Here is why. Big chunk of necrosum removed with no resistance. Enzymes soften the tissue and make removal easier. What are your tricks?

Happy Fourth of July. Here a very patriotic 13 cm rectal LST G w/ 3 dominant nodules(notice resemblance to the 🇺🇸 map). Interestingly only HGD was identified. We didn’t have a big enough styrofoam piece so we had to tape a few together.

Let’s stop calling it “advanced” endoscopy & ourselves “advanced endoscopists”. It brings a false sense of superiority over our gen GI colleagues to our patients. We are “interventional” endoscopists. We are not superior to gen GI MDs, we just do a different kind of job.

Why do nurses, PA’s, AA’s get mandatory breaks throughout the day? The answer I always get is: “to reduce burnout and ensure pt safety.” Yet somehow, MDs breaks don’t exist. From an admin perspective, MDs are machines who simply never burnout or make mistakes. #perspective

EVERY interventional endoscopist should be comfortable with 💉 abdominal decompression. Last week I did an ESD in hep flexure & had minute perf. However, pt developed tense capnoperitoneum. 💉 decompression allowed us to decompress abdomen & complete the case.

Why are there so few Hispanic/Latinx IMGs in academic GI careers? 1/ Immigration issues -Most come with J1 visa which limits their program pool. Recent survey of IM program directors 👉🏼 41% seldomly rank IMGs and 20% never do so.
