During this time, the patient had countless virtual consultations, tests, scans.

Ultimately, it was the “review of systems” and simple history and examination that made the difference.

The diagnosis is not set in stone yet - awaiting temporal artery workup.

William Osler quotes: “Listen to the patient; he is telling you the diagnosis.”

In this modern era of test based medicine, it pays to remember to see the patient, talk to them and most of the time, they will give away the diagnosis.

“I do by colonoscopy.” — Dr. @AasmaShaukatMD making the case for why colonoscopy still outperforms FIT, Cologuard, and other non-invasive screening options.

Looks like we gastroenterologists/proceduralists still have a strong future 😊

There’s a tendency to think that we understand the gospel enough and should now move on to other superior things. That very inclination is the sign that we do not know the gospel. To understand what Christ has done is to know that there is no life outside of the cross.

Congratulations Nkengeh!

ESD of a 10.5-cm laterally spreading tumor (LST) at the distal transverse colon near the splenic flexure. The scope manipulation was struggling. I utilized traction clips to facilitate the dissection. and got it done after 284 minutes.
