Transcript

• 00:00I'm Harry is Laney, and I'm advancing.
• 00:04Tosca ****** as part of the Yale
• 00:07Gastroenterology Department and we
• 00:09treat a variety of patients with
• 00:11gastrointestinal problems in our
• 00:13field of advancement. OSCA, P.
• 00:15We're usually faced with a fairly
• 00:18focused question that often deals with.
• 00:21A diagnostic problem looking at getting
• 00:24a biopsy or a sampling or getting
• 00:26more information or seeing if we can
• 00:29possibly treat something completely
• 00:31through the scope so we look to have
• 00:34as much information up to that point
• 00:36as possible and then formulate a plan
• 00:39as part of a multidisciplinary team to
• 00:42see how we can provide some answers.
• 00:45We always find it helpful to have caregiver
• 00:48or family member present during a meeting.
• 00:51They often can provide.
• 00:53Important historical information
• 00:54about symptoms or prior testing.
• 00:56If we are performing a
• 00:59procedure after sedation,
• 01:00it's necessary to have a ride home
• 01:03an when we discuss the results after
• 01:06procedure is often helpful to have
• 01:10another person there to help remember
• 01:13some of the details if needed.
• 01:16The part of endoscopy that I enjoy
• 01:19the most is having a visual
• 01:22representation of a problem.
• 01:25And the chance to to
• 01:27make an immediate impact,
• 01:28either with a diagnosis and in many
• 01:32cases potentially with the treatment
• 01:34that can remove a problem such as an
• 01:37early cancer or polyp of the say,
• 01:40esophagus, stomach or colon.
• 01:41Part of the Smilow advanced
• 01:44Endoscopy Team we work as part
• 01:46of a multidisciplinary team.
• 01:47So many of the questions that we face have
• 01:51to do with the question of something that.
• 01:54Could be precancerous,
• 01:56or what the current state of something is,
• 01:59so it's it's a great pleasure to work
• 02:02as part of a multidisciplinary team
• 02:04of variety of very expert and talented
• 02:08physicians, including surgeons,
• 02:09radiologists, pathologists,
• 02:10an oncologist.
• 02:11So knowing that the patient is getting
• 02:14the best care possible and it's going
• 02:17to have the best outcomes possible
• 02:20from each specialty is is really rewarding.
• 02:23My research interests center around.
• 02:26Advance into Osca P in the care of
• 02:30patients with problems that we treat,
• 02:33so we have a variety of ongoing research
• 02:37studies that involve sometimes the
• 02:40details of the performance of endoscopy,
• 02:44applying new technology or new
• 02:47techniques and also optimizing.
• 02:50The techniques that we used to
• 02:52get the best results for patients.
