JAN 17, doctors and their practices: the colonoscopist

Today's Offering (Jan 17, 2025):

poetry lyrics:/ Colonoscopist: practiced profession/ That deserves a parade
 or procession./ They do prize-winning screening/ (The prep: colon 'cleaning')/
 Bowel problems? So prudent, each session,/ They probe, and prevent their progression. 

Authors' Note:

prep: medical jargon for preparatory measures needed before surgery or complex testing

  The general public is aware of the importance of colonoscopy for screening in early colon cancer. Colonoscopy also plays an important role in the diagnosis, treatment and followup of symptomatic colonic problems, including isolated polyps, diffuse polyposis of several kinds, colitis and gastrointestinal bleeding. Your colonoscopist is likely to be a surgeon, less commonly an internist, trained in gastrointestinal diseases and in the technical aspects of flexible fiberoptic endoscopy.
