To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets.
They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.
A sad day for IU GI as we mourn the loss of a not only a figure in GI endoscopy-but a friend, a mentor and a healer to many thousands. RIP Dr. Stuart Sherman-your legacy lives on. 🙏@IUGastro@IUSMDeptMed@IUIntMed@IU_Health@ASGEendoscopy @IUHealthPhys @studabaka
Thankful to everyone who stopped by our poster! 🤗
It was truly an honor to present our multicenter study on the outcomes of ESD performed by early career endoscopists!
Nothing but gratitude for this opportunity! 🙏 @AhmadBazarbashi@KashMahmoodMD@BilalMohammadMD@drcheesman
The ASGE is stressing that colonoscopy is still the best and most proven way for patients to be screened for colorectal cancer following the release of the October 9 Nordic-European Initiative on Colorectal Cancer (NordICC) trial report. Learn more: bit.ly/3Erj7Op#CRC
Pleased to co-author (w/ @seth_crockett & @AudreyGIdoc) the @AmerGastroAssn CPU "Strategies to Improve Quality of Screening and Surveillance Colonoscopy" in @AGA_Gastro. While Seth made this great figure highlighting some recommendations, hope people read the entire article.
I just talked at #ERAEDTA21 about proton pump inhibitors and nephrotoxicity
It was an epidemiological take
If anyone is interested here’s my talk condensed in a n/14🧵
Well, how about that? Same old story- PPIs being blamed for all things bad, just to be later refuted by better quality studies!
36 hospitals (>1800 pts) in the US, PPI not associated with any bad outcomes related to COVID 19 @AGA_Gastro! H2RA ✖ benefit.

ALT A statement from the AMA saying: "At a time when physicians and other health care professionals are providing care to a record number of COVID-19 patients amidst a third wave, there is misinformation about how patients are counted. Let’s be clear physicians are not inflating the number of COVID-19 patients. Research published in JAMA and in CDC reports indicate the US had significantly more deaths in 2020 than in previous years (excess deaths). Physicians and patients are making remarkable sacrifices and we continue urging all to wear a mask, physical distance and wash your hands to reduce suffering, illness and death."
You can’t learn without listening.
This is why we have the most COVID19 cases in the world.
This is why ~47 Americans died of COVID19 during this debate.
“Why do you want to be a doctor?”
I answer without hesitation, “I want to help people.”
“There are many ways to help people.”
“I want to save lives.”
“There are many ways to do that too. So I’ll ask you again, why do you want to be a doctor?”
“Because I believe in it.” 1/
It isn’t easy being 80 years old.
Things don’t work like they used to. People don’t treat you like they used to.
I’m standing before the shower in my hotel room.
“Temperature?” A voice asks me.
“Warm, but not too hot,” I answer.
The shower starts, the water’s perfect. 1/
Just incredulous reading stories like this after what frontliners went through in NYC, etc... it’s literally the same story on repeat. My prayers are with those dealing with these crises all over the country.
