Esophagogastroduodenoscopy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ever had someone ram a tube down your throat into your stomach? I’m now scheduled to have just that very thing done. Here’s the description of the procedure:

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In medicine (gastroenterology), esophagogastroduodenoscopy is a diagnostic endoscopic procedure that visualises the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract up to the duodenum. It is considered a minimally invasive procedure since it does not require an incision into one of the major body cavities and does not require any significant recovery after the procedure (unless sedation or anaesthesia has been used). A sore throat is also common.[1][2][3]

Sounds like loads of fun, eh? That’s what I’ll be doing the afternoon of Tuesday June 24. Why? Because I have unexplained anemia, and it sucks.
