What is the most common type of anesthesia used for colonoscopies?
And what side effects can you expect?

Leadership is not about pulling people to follow your path. It's about shining enough light for them to find their own route.
Bosses aim to wield power. They issue commands to maintain control.
Leaders strive to empower. They delegate authority to unleash potential.

📰News from #ASCO23: Now that cancer txs have improved, researchers are starting to ask different Qs. Instead of asking how cancer therapy can be intensified, they are asking if there are elements of successful txs that can be eliminated to provide pts w better QOL says @ASCOPres
“Now that cancer treatments have improved, researchers are starting to ask different questions,” experts say, like whether some treatment can be eliminated to improve patient quality of life. nyti.ms/3IRR4ZO

Last night I had a chance to read the comments on the @nytimes article on the #PancreaticCancer vaccine trial. Agnostic to the trial, this was my favorite paragraph from one of the comments because it is 💯 true!

Colorectal cancer is often a silent disease, developing with no symptoms at all. When symptoms are present, they include blood in or on stool, persistent abdominal discomfort, and unexplained weight loss. Learn more : fascrs.org/patients/tips-for…

In recognition of #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth, patients, caregivers, and survivors are being displayed on the NASDAQ screen in Times Square.
We're excited that the @Nasdaq recognized March as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in such a public manner. In some cases, the disease is preventable through screening and treatable when found early, yet only half of those who should be tested actually get screened. 50,000 Americans die each year from #colorectalcancer, and we are now at a critical juncture that requires greater public #awareness and support—NASDAQ's help in increasing awareness is invaluable.

If you are turning 45 in 2023, it is time to schedule your #colonoscopy.
A colonoscopy is a medical procedure that allows a doctor to visually examine your entire colon & rectum using a scope. Most often, gastroenterologists (GIs) are the physicians performing the procedures.
