Replying to @Surgeon_General
Who’s on this committee that decides what’s misinformation? I can think of several examples where CDC released misinformation. Do I write about that? @astupple

curios doc. a student of gastroenterology. opinions own. RT nonendorsing.
- Replying to @jasonvanschoorDo you have any evidence of this? Pics of ORs being used as ICUs? Pathologist working as ED docs? Any visual or other evidence would go along way on swaying the large bureaucracy that we have here in the US.
- Signs of air in peritoneal cavity - every endoscopist must know. Here are three in the same supine image. Can you name them? #GITwitter #MedEd
- Re-reading GERD guidelines - Having a uniform statement that all GI docs (and PCPs for that matter) can give to patients is an Awesome idea! #GITwitter #MedEd journals.lww.com/ajg/pages/arti…
- This review of SIBO is good for all the fans and skeptics alike. My takeaway was that SIBO testing is grossly overused, evidence quality for symptom association is very low. Really, we are still in exploration phase of this disorder #GITwitter #medEd
- All true, but even in China, with censorship, pictures and videos is what brought attention to this crisis outside of China. More video and pictures -the more people will pay attention.
- #GITwitter - go ahead and tell me that this is NOT the most important study of the year for any endoscopist removing polyps on a regular basis. Amazing data - stratifies the diff between SSL and Adenomas. Hopefully less clipping will result... cghjournal.org/article/S1542-…
- Correlation is a hell of a thing.
Tattoos are associated with ⬆️ risk of lymphoma (especially diffuse large B cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma). #MedTwitter thelancet.com/journals/eclin… - 10 years ago I thought this was settled. I guess it’s still happening? #gitwitter
- GI Pearls is not dead. Just on a little break. Working on the next episode. Coming soon. :-) #GITwitter #LiverTwitter #MedED #FOAMED Go listen to old episodes for time being.
- Replying to @BenMazerwhat level of skepticism is acceptable, without calls against "undermining confidence?" cdc quoted a pre-print with COVID labeled 4th leading cause of death, many of those who sought a math correction (9th) were labeled anti-vax. Which part of GBD is anti-vax?
- 1/14 "In defense of Simethicone" - a Tweetorial for #GITwitter, #Gastroenterology - Instead of focusing on why we can't use Simethicone, I'll try to show you why we (endoscopists) should put it in the water, if u haven't, or re-start if you stopped.
