Seems like for endoscopy stuff some hospitals are using EM and ICU docs

There are days when the idea of anesthesia looks far more appealing than the ED and I feel totally comfortable sedating emergencies. I couldn't imagine defending myself if something happened just doing elective cases day after day.

On the other hand, the midlevels jump fields all the time, seemingly without any repercussions (GI-->Derm-->Cardiology ....)
