ASGE International Sampler (On-Demand)-Introduction

Video Transcription

I'd like to introduce our next session, which is live endoscopic cases from the AIG. For those of you that don't know anything about the AIG, the AIG is the Asian Institute  of Gastroenterology, and it's in Hyderabad, India. It is the premier center in India, and I can tell you I spent a month there in 2013 with  Nagi and his group, who do about 50, that's five zero ERCPs or more every day, one room, one doctor, which is amazing.  And many, many endoscopic ultrasounds in an amazing place, and they have a new hospital they built recently that I've not had the privilege to see yet, but I hope to see in  the near future. So Nagi, we're looking forward to hearing and seeing what you have to show us today. Thank you, Todd. Thank you very much. I hope we're onto the screen.  We see something that looks like marble. That's a marble from AIG. Nice.  Imported from, there we go. Imported, all made in India, Todd. Yeah.  Yeah, we're zooming in, getting closer to you now. You can see that on the video, and that's where, Hyderabad, and that's the AIG building.  The one on the right is the research block, the one on the left is the main block. Amazing. It's almost a pentagon, Nagi.  It's 1,000 bedded. Yeah, so it's quite big now. Wow. It's different than when I was there. Yeah. The one year was like this waiting hall, you see, that was a whole hospital. Yeah.  Wow. So we have 30 endoscopy suites, so we're just getting into the interventional endoscopy where we are now. So this is the room we are in now. So we'll, I think, switch to live.
