8      The ERCP (a)

Again on the gurney being pushed through the maze of corridors, he asked the attendant, "The acronym, ERCP, what does it stand for?"

The attendant said, "Well, it's a mouthful. ERCP stands for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography."

"Really?".... "Is it a common procedure?"

"Not here, it's not."

"Should I be worried?"

"No, not at all."
