BACKGROUND:
Due to the increasing number of GI endoscopy cases and the backlog we are currently experiencing, new Gastroenterology doctors have been hired by HSD to run an additional GI Endoscopy Room in the Surgery Dept. The purchase of a new GI Endoscopy Tower and new Endoscopes will allow the new doctors to provide diagnostic and therapeutic care to their GI patients. The Olympus Endoscopy Videoscopes, Video Processor, Light Source and Printer which are contained in the tower, will allow doctors to view a live image, on a video monitor, of a patients’ upper and lower gastrointestinal tract.
