Esophageal diseases are extremely common, and symptoms such as trouble swallowing, chest pain, regurgitation and choking diminish quality of life. There can also be psychosocial effects for patients with these diseases that includes hypervigilance — a heightened focus on physical symptoms — and symptom-specific anxiety such as fear of choking. Identifying patients with issues could help providers better treat their disease. That's according to a new Northwestern Medicine  study published in the journal Gastroenterology.

Esophageal Diseases and Symptom Anxiety and Hypervigilance with John Pandolfino, MD

John Pandolfino MD is the Chief of Gastroenterology and Hepatology in the Department of Medicine and the Hans Popper Professor of Medicine at Northwestern University. Dr. Pandolfino completed his medical school from Loyola and residency from Northwestern, where he stayed to pursue a fellowship in gastroenterology. He is the President of the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society and an elected member of the American Society of Clinical Investigation. He has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Research Mentor of the Year from the American Gastroenterological Association and Outstanding Mentor Award from the Department of Medicine at Northwestern University. Dr. John Pandolfino remembers his mentor and role model, Dr. Lewis Landsberg, being the perfect physician. “We never saw him miss a diagnosis or not be right.” Yet, one piece of advice Dr. Pandolfino received from Dr. Landsberg was “Don’t be afraid to be wrong.” And this is a mindset that he has carried with him throughout his career. Today, Dr. Pandolfino reflects how this advice has given him the flexibility to be successful. Instead of fighting and defending a hypothesis which is wrong, Dr. Pandolfino embraces failure and doesn’t hesitate to change course. And it is this agility that gives him the freedom to continuously experiment. After all, the people who make an impact in medicine are those who take a shot. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. It doesn’t matter if you’re having a bad day. When you enter a patient’s room, you have a job and an obligation to help the patient. 2. To find the right mentor for you, ask yourself, “Is this the person I want to be like when I’m their age?” 3.  When you realize you’re wrong, rather than defend your position, fix the mistake. Have the ability and the agility to change. 4. The difference between a good internist and a great internist is not a matter of knowing facts. It’s the ability to listen to the patient’s story, synthesize it, and come up with the one thing that’s going to be right. To learn about a patient that changed Dr. Pandolfino's life, visit the  Motts 58 Foundation.

"Don’t Be Afraid to Be Wrong” with Dr. John Pandolfino

Welcome to another Episode of Talking Gut, where I get to interview leading specialists in the area of gastroenterology and related systems. In today's episode I had the honour to interview the Worlds leading expert on Esophageal Disorders, Prof John Pandalfino. Prof Pandolfino is a Hans Popper Professor of Medicine and chief of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at  Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and was also the director at the Esophageal Center at Northwestern Medicine between 2011-2015. His CV is 27 pages way too long to cover in this introduction, but lets just say, he has multiple hospital and administrative appointments, is recipients of multiple grants and awards, Editor in chief for highly regarded Gastroenterology journals and is himself author and co-author of books, book chapters and over 200 research articles. He’s also a really nice down to earth guy. If there is anything you want to know about Esophageal Disorders, Prof Pandolfino is the person to speak to.    Gastroesophageal Reflux Disorder or GERD, and both Esophageal and extra-esophageal syndromes. Diagnosis of GERD and how to treat it. We talked about his unique way of treating GERD via his GERD Precision Texas Holdem approach. We also covered other areas, including Functional Heart Burn The link between Gastrointestinal transit and Reflux We talked about belching or burping We talked about rumination We also talked about eosinophilic esophagitis and a whole lot more.  This talk provides a wealth of information for medical and allied health professionals and well as the interested general public. I hope you enjoy my talk with Prof John Pandolfino.
