Thoughts after 7 days on call:

2. Important to keep an open mind - not everyone has COVID19

Low FODMAP diet for

I have been trained by 2 nurse endoscopists - they were excellent. Iโve also had the pleasure to help train 2 - both extremely competent.
Nurse endoscopists in the UK are common and I donโt personally have an issue with it as long as theyโre fully trained and accredited.

My Aunt. What an inspiration - sadly passed away at the weekend but she helped hundreds of people with addiction after dealing with her own.
Never too late
There are people who had jaundice, ascites, encephalopathy, and variceal bleeding 2-3 years ago who are, today, loving life, working, and having ultrasounds read as "normal" with no red whatsoever in their lab panels
All because they stopped drinking alcohol
