Today we had our second day of endoscopic procedures. The first procedure of the day was an ERCP, In a gentleman who had HIV and tuberculosis. He had a common bile duct stone which require removal.
The second case of the day, and many thereafter were common upper and lower endoscopy's. The majority of the cases today where for weight loss and unexplained diarrhea. For the ERCP, Tiffany and Angie were of great help, since the nurses and technicians at the hospital had never seen the ERCP's performed before. Three years ago though, we had trained the nurses and technicians on routine endoscopy, and for the majority of the cases done today, the nurses in and technicians at the hospital did an outstanding job. They did not require the help of our support team.
