An important new approach to pancreatitis! Great summary of the WATERFALL trial

Management guidelines for acute pancreatitis recommend early aggressive fluid resuscitation, yet evidence supporting this approach is limited. New research findings are summarized in a short video. nej.md/3xabY0j

Quick Take: Aggressive or Moderate Resuscitation in Acute Pancreatitis

Today - I finally made it to the cecum independently. Huge progress from my first scope yet so much progress left to be made. This accomplishment really helped to reignite my enthusiasm for endoscopy #MadeItOutTheSigmoid #GITwitter – at Cleveland, OH

Participated in my first colonoscopy today. I did not intubate the TI. I did not reach the cecum. I barely even advanced the scope. I withdrew the scope and kept the lumen in the center of the screen most of the time. For that - I am damn proud. 🥳💩🩺 #GITwitter @CWRU_GI
