As I having been doing procedures for nearly 35 years, I respectfully suggest that your math may be slightly off. But, let’s not quarrel over this. I’m more interested to hear your view of my post’s view on the recent NEJM colonoscopy study.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7323692122514281455.post-28206610446107049532022-10-21T19:57:54.950-04:002022-10-21T19:57:54.950-04:00There is no way you have done over 50,000 colonosc...There is no way you have done over 50,000 colonoscopies. Assuming you have been doing these procedure for about 30 years, that would mean you have been averaging 1667 colonoscopies per year since day one of completing your fellowship. Assuming colonoscopies are predominantly done on weekdays (with perhaps a rather small number of urgent weekend colonoscopies), that would mean you are averaging over 33 colonoscopies each and every day. This an unreachable and absurdly high number. Unless you are 90, I believe you are greatly exaggerating Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
