Previously, it was very difficult to diagnose small intestinal disease, ... There are 20 feet of small intestine and unfortunately CT scans, barium studies and endoscopy don't visualize all the intestines.

It's mostly a way to contain the spread of the disease. It's better than nothing.

I have been surprised and amazed at the diseases we've been able to diagnose with the pill camera endoscopy,

This is the first non-invasive way we have of visualizing the small intestines,

Grief causes suffering and disease.

The doctor I would want for myself or for anyone else I cared about would be one who understands that disease is more than just a clinical entity; it is an experience and a metaphor, with a message that must be listened to.
