The field of gastroenterology has pioneered live AI deployment in medicine. In this @TheLancet commentary with @EricTopol, we explore the next challenge: keeping core clinical skills sharp as algorithms assist more of our work. @ASGEendoscopy @AmerGastroAssn @AmCollegeGastro

Will A.I. lead to de-skilling of physicians?
And if so what can be done to preempt it?

The scout film is an underappreciated starting point for successful ERCP.

Before the scope goes in:
– Orient with the gastric bubble
– Use 12th rib to identify T12
- Then position L1–L3 at bottom right of image
– Rule out free air *before* you start and save image

Impressive. Now try outside hospital records: faxed, scanned at 40%, re-faxed, page 3 of 11 missing, and “CONFIDENTIAL” stamped over the only critical lab value.

I used GPT-6 Astra to break an unsolved cipher to one of Napoleon's generals that had gone unread for 217 years.

What makes this impressive isn't actually the codebreaking, but that Astra completed the entire multi-modal workflow in ~6 hours from a single image and goal.

1/6🧵

Great work by Nadeem and team to explore a problem nearly every advanced endoscopist has faced:
* patient presents with obstructive jaundice
* you place a biliary stent perfectly
* several days later, the bilirubin has barely budged

Bilirubin not improving post technically successful ERCP⁉️ read our shared experience 👇
