@PaulGuzikDO Number one thing is to have a good fund of knowledge (especially studying your 3rd year before graduating) because there’s not much time after you graduate to focus on studying.
I think ACG questions are good, and Acing books had the zebras that came up. DDSEP solid
@Leenhasan7@utmbhealth@AmCollegeGastro Congrats! I enjoyed my time there as a GI fellow, and felt well prepared when I started my first GI job. Wish you all the best in your career!
@tijinmathew94@SocietyHospMed@ACOMEDU@md_syedfatmi@WaseemM001@ASK_HM17 Given the lack of response to pro-motility agents/laxatives and the stool retention in rectum and sigmoid colon distention, it seems patient may have an obstructive process. Possibly undiagnosed Hirshsprungs? Anorectal manometry would be useful. Interesting case!
@DellMedIntMed@mpignone88 you were key to successful growth and development in the department. Grateful for your leadership and mentorship. We couldn’t have had a better Chair! Best of luck on your future endeavors!
@ASK_HM17 @JayaVasudevanMD In general our practice has been to provide early endoscopy within 12-24 hours. Urgent EGD (<6 hours) is not typically a good idea since it comes at the cost of resuscitation, and it’s no surprise that the article also shows worse outcomes in that cohort.
