Today's title includes two GIFs.You know what I am getting at?
The former GIF is a style of imaging, and the latter GIF stands for gastrointestinal fiber, one of medical procedures. The other day, I underwent GIF in my hospital.
I have been asymptomatic about the stomach, but it is a rule for the employees of my hospital to have an annual checkup including GIF once they turn 40 years of age.
Before the GIF, I was given a cold candy, which was kind of a medical drug to make the throat numb enough to swallow the fiber without difficulty. I have to admit that the non-tasty candy worked to some extent, but the procedure was not smooth.
One good thing about the medical device is that it enabled me to see my stomach, as shown in the picture above. The surface of my stomach was almost the same as I would have expected, hoping for good health. I have some knowledge about the stomach since I have seen a lot of my patients receiving GIF in my hospital, although I am not a gastroenterologist (but a cardiologist).
Anyway, I am happy with the GIF because the results were undoubtedly OK. What is more, according to my colleague who performed the GIF, it seems like that I do not need to undergo GIF at least for a few years to come.
