@DrBloodandGuts @DrHarryThomas @TexasGastros @aiims1994 @PrashantKediaMD @DivyaBhattMD @GIJANE_MD When is the two channel therapeutic scope advantageous?

@DrHarryThomas @TexasGastros @aiims1994 @PrashantKediaMD @DivyaBhattMD @GIJANE_MD Yes, every case I bring 2 scopes - 1T and diagnostic as a backup. Why? I can have the tech preload a bander , OTSC, or “dry Hemospray”, to save time while I am still scoping! #TSGEtalks
