#10. We need to drop Bisacodyl from the new Gatorade prep.
\n#9. Wire-guided cannulation during ERCP results in less pancreatitis.
\n#8. Looking carefully during endoscopy finds lesions, enhanced imaging is not what does it.
\n#7. Balloon enteroscopy is an important tool in managing small bowel disease and needs to become more widely available.
\n#6. You do not need to stop aspirin, NSAIDs, or Plavix prior to endoscopic procedures.
\n#5. Neoplastic Barrett\u2019s belongs to the endoscopist not the surgeon.
\n#4. Under-represented ethnic populations have special digestive health issues that are not being addressed adequately.
\n#3. If the virtual colonoscopy is positive and the colonoscopy is negative, we cannot tell the patient to come back in 10 years; we need to repeat testing in the next year or two.
\n#2. We miss colon cancers during colonoscopy.
