DrV,

Well I love the tone of the comment (and all of your social media writings, actually), which shows curiosity about “how” rather than “if.”

I think the best answer to any question is given by the patient, so why don’t we ask them here. Can you provide an example of a situation (without identifying information, of course) that you have found yourself in, or worry that you might find yourself in, around endoscopic biopsies? Like a diagnosis or potential diagnosis/finding you might discuss in a report.

Let’s talk through it,

Ted

Good gosh, this is tricky. I run into this all the time with endoscopic biopsy reports. Parents review them, search terms and worry about things that don’t exist. Then I have to spend valuable time talkin’ ‘em off the ledge. I’m conflicted because I desperately want my families involved in the decisions of their kids but I think there are some things that are really hard to understand. What do I do?
