    The field of gastroenterology has pioneered live AI deployment in medicine. In this @TheLancet commentary with @EricTopol, we explore the next challenge: keeping core clinical skills sharp as algorithms assist more of our work. @ASGEendoscopy @AmerGastroAssn @AmCollegeGastro

    Will A.I. lead to de-skilling of physicians? And if so what can be done to preempt it? @tberzin and I address this in a new @TheLancet piece thelancet.com/journals/lance…

    As I always say, “Colonoscopy can help us find polyps, can help us prevent colon cancer, and in very particular cases, may help us elevate a woman to U.S. presidential power for the first time in history”…

    How many advanced endoscopists can correctly identify the liver segments drained on a cholangiogram? Here's some 'advanced' ERCP anatomy (featuring @ericpaulimd's famous fist). #GItwitter

    For medical trainees in any interventional or surgical field, I'm not sure there's a more important lesson than this one.

    1/4: Why is a thin nasal feeding tube often called a ‘Dobhoff’? The original thin-caliber, weighted feeding tube was invented in 1975 by Dr. Robert Dobbie and Dr. James Hoffmeister. They joined their names for ‘Dobhoff’ (and also used the spelling ‘Dobbhoff’ interchangeably).

    Mastering linear EUS is a tough hill to climb, even for our superb advanced endoscopy fellows who have already mastered basic endoscopic skills. Here's lesson one. @BIDMChealth

    Getting to co-author an #AI essay in @TheLancet with the legendary @EricTopol, physician-sage and author of @Deep__Medicine, was, for me, the academic/medical equivalent of getting to toss a football around with @TomBrady. Thanks Eric 🙏🙏 🏈 🏈

    "How I cannulate the bile duct". At least once a year, I revisit this classic, brief reflection on #ERCP technique, by Hawes & Devière. (Published in both @GIE_Journal and @endoscopyjrnl in 2018). thieme-connect.com/products/ejour…

    Great to return 'home' to @BrighamMedRes to talk about GI bleeding. Here are my 4 top points on: ▶️IV flow rates ▶️Ulcer stigmata + rebleeding risk ▶️Setting patient expectations for LGIB eval ▶️Recommended LGIB algorithm

    Nice demonstration of ‘push technique’ for deploying Axios inner flange in *small spaces*: ➡️ unlock BOTH catheter lock & stent deployment hub ➡️ stabilize stent deployment hub against chest with two fingers ➡️ push Axios forward, keeping stent deployment hub *fixed in position*
