Endoscopy in pIBD

In this episode of THE pIBD DIGEST, Dr Tracy Coelho and Dr Chris Bakewell welcome the multi-talented Dr Nadeem Afzal, Associate Professor and Paediatric Gastroenterologist, based at the Southampton Children's Hospital. Dr Afzal dives deep into the world of training in endoscopy, breaking down the requirements, challenges, and nuances with clinical precision with regards to endoscopy in pIBD. As the scope retracts and the conversation wraps up, Dr Afzal plugs in his handmade guitar — yes, built by his own hands — and shreds in D minor pentatonic with a sprinkle of Hendrix! Finally, Dr Coelho caps it all off with his original satirical poem, The Scopic Odyssey, a poetic rollercoaster through the highs, lows, and awkward silences of trainee-trainer dynamics in endoscopy.
