Today I finished working 19 days in a row in a #COVID19 ridden hospital. I don’t need accolades. This is what you sign up for when you become a Physician and care for the sick in their time of need. We just ask you to stay home, buy local, wash ur hands, and flatten the curve.

Check out the AGA's new clinical care pathway, the first official guide for #IBD in pregnancy care. TDDC's @rajster served as program co-chair for the working group that developed this pathway. Congrats also to @IBDgirls @MySMFM and @CrohnsColitisFn !

Friend of mine just turned 50, got a colonoscopy. Turns out he has cancer in his colon and it’s spread to his liver. He’s about to start chemo; prognosis is optimistic (God willing) but he’s in for a rough 6 months.

Get a colonoscopy when you turn 50, folks!!!!
