32. It does sound like a low level grumbling gall bladder

Sat May 27, 2023, 04:39 PM

The ERCP doesn't sound like it made anybody's day, but they all said dreading it was worse than the procedure, which they slept through. The descriptions online don't tell you anything from a patient's POV, the dry descriptions often terrifying to civilians. I can tell you that it's done under short acting anesthesia. You won't be around to feel anything.

I mention that one because it was the gold standard where I worked, the HDA and MRI missing some types of stones and/or some pancreatic problems.
