There will be no GI Coverage starting Saturday, 6/6 7 AM until Monday, 6/8 at 12 noon.


Per Dr. Ragland, all GI bleeds for the weekend should be transfered to a level of higher care unless surgery is willing to provide emergent diagnostic scoping. Lower GI bleeds and PUD can then be surgical treated if needed and invasive IR can perform emergent TIPPS for varicial bleeding since sclerotherapy will not be available.
