If a flexible sigmoidoscopy offers this much benefit, a colonoscopy should offer at least equal or more likely greater benefit. ⁦ #gitwitter #medtwitter ⁦Ruben Hernaez⁩ ⁦BCM Gastroenterology⁩ acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…

Colonoscopies save lives. A single study inspiring reckless headlines cannot change that fact. Colorectal cancer is deadly but also highly preventable. Americans should not be deterred from getting checked! bit.ly/ColonoscopiesP…

“Needless chemo, surgery, ostomy and psychiatric distress” how can you say that to the millions of colorectal survivors worldwide? Colorectal Cancer Alliance I’m sure has a different point of view. #GITwitter

Anthony Xu BCM Gastroenterology RJ Sealock Harry Thomas Keith Siau ASGE GI Endoscopy Everyone needs to read the accompanying editorial. Harry Thomas also has a thread which outlines the issues with the study.

It’s not a negative trial, there is a lot of nuance to be considered. The intervention arm was patients INVITED for colonoscopy, NOT patients who UNDERWENT colonoscopy. Less than 50% of the people in invited group underwent colonoscopy. #GITwitter #MedTwitter

Does having onychomycosis increase a patients pretest probability of having invasive fungal disease elsewhere in the body or influence whether you add anti-fungal coverage earlier in sick crashing patients? #IDtwitter Zaven Sargsyan Prathit Kulkarni, MD

Anyone ever wonder why when the hemoglobin goes down from 13.5 to 13, no one bats an eye, but when it goes down from 7 to 6.5, everyone gets real serious? #GITwitter #MedTwitter
