I like this by @EdBarnesMD @MaiaKayalMD @AmJGastro @AmCollegeGastro

🔑CDLP response > pouchitis (Fig 1)
A recurring theme in this space

This is a tough study to do - I appreciate it.

On March 4, 1993, at the first ESPYS, Jim Valvano accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award and delivered his iconic “Don’t give up, don’t ever give up” speech.

His words changed lives. His legacy created the V Foundation for Cancer Research. https://t.co/HYoT7quw0b
