This document discusses endoscopy procedures performed at St. Mary's hospital and some challenges. It notes that the main indications for endoscopy are dyspepsia and the main findings are normal or gastritis. Some sample patient requests and challenges are presented, as well as what clinicians prefer to see in endoscopy reports versus things they do not like. Recommendations include the judicious use of endoscopy and contextual interpretation of results. Questions are also posed about relying solely on endoscopy to investigate abdominal pain and handling unexpected findings.
