Nice demonstration of ‘push technique’ for deploying Axios inner flange in *small spaces*: ➡️ unlock BOTH catheter lock & stent deployment hub ➡️ stabilize stent deployment hub against chest with two fingers ➡️ push Axios forward, keeping stent deployment hub *fixed in position*

20×-speed, unedited hybrid ESD of a periappendiceal polyp. Tip: Avoid full circumferential injection, it can cause lesion invagination into the appendix. Instead, start with selective injection (~⅓ circumference) to free the part over the orifice for easier resection. Procedure

For my recent grads, now playing in the big leagues 🩺✨ 💰Billing & Coding: Quick & Dirty Basics ⭐️ CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes (maintained by the AMA) standardize billing for medical services across settings. They serve as the foundation for E/M billing.

Every trainee has experienced the POWER💪🏽 of thoughtful feedback… & the downside of generic or poor delivery. Feedback is indispensable to growth in training & the many years beyond📈 Honored to have worked on this piece with the queen of feedback herself @CHRISTINESTL123 👑
Feedback is invaluable during medical training, but delivering effective feedback can be challenging. For The New Gastroenterologist, @BalissMichelle and @CHRISTINESTL123 review common barriers and offer practical tips for providing feedback. https://t.co/XxHB9Wgjob
