Description
Six doctors led by Ismail Ghafary check a swallow cam pill for gut bleed in ward patients and find it earns less than its name. The pill cam rides the small gut and films as it goes, at real cost and with a stuck risk. Five hundred fourteen ward cases at one centre span a decade for the read. Three in five pills found no mark worth a note in the files.
Two in five cases went on to scope work post pill in the span. In those, a bleed spot was found and fixed in four of five. The pill itself gets no credit for spot finds or for cuts in month-on returns. Ward chiefs are urged to pick pill cases with more grit.
