⭐️ No cont’d… 🔹 but the longer you wait, the ⬆️ the chance of failure of restarting 🧬 and experiencing disease complications 🔹 pts (and providers) prefer stopping immunomodulators 🔹 if anti-TNFs are working, don’t stop it

1/18 🤔Why does the diagnosis of Streptococcus bovis bacteremia immediately raise the specter of colon cancer? If colon cancer leads to barrier disruption and translocation of bacteria into the blood, shouldn't E. coli bacteremia raise the same concern? Is S. bovis unique?

Learned and tried this elegant technique for PEG ostomy site closure published by Allison Schulman MD, MPH giejournal.org/article/S0016-… Such a simple and easy to do technique that doesn't require advanced training. Was very satisfying to see the end result.

We still live in the world of the "knocker uppers", only now they have become phones rather than people. And so the ubiquity of alarm clocks, something without which life now seems unimaginable, is emblematic of the evolution from a Pre-Industrial to an Industrial World.

🚨#GITwitter🚨 Think of every EGD, surveillance & diagnostic colon you do in one day. Now think of doing a prior auth for each of those. A poorly designed #priorauth pgm by #UnitedHealthcare will delay GI care & add red tape for us. UnitedHealthcare don’t implement the pgm on June 1!

Pro Tips for Olympus PolyLoop 1️⃣ Close sheath/hook & advance collar at SAME TIME 2️⃣ Ensure there is metal exposed before deploying loop to avoid mis-deploying (eg, stuck around polyp 😬) Ever use Olympus GI PolyLoop & get frustrated when it fails? Need a better device!
