GastroenterologyMissed-CRCPlaintiff-side

Built for missed-CRC + perforation + ERCP cases.
AI deposition trainer with USMSTF + ESGE depth.

GI medmal cases concentrate around missed colorectal cancer on screening colonoscopy (quality-indicator failures), colonoscopy perforation with delayed recognition, ERCP pancreatitis without prophylaxis, and polyp surveillance interval errors. USMSTF Quality Indicators for Colonoscopy, ESGE PEP Prophylaxis Guideline, and AGA bleeding management standards define the floors. Cross-exam walks the witness through the documented quality indicators — or their absence.

Why a gastroenterology-specific trainer matters

GI cases turn on the procedure note's quality indicators: ADR, cecal intubation, withdrawal time, Boston Bowel Prep Score. The chart documents these or it doesn't. "It was a clean colonoscopy" without engaging the published quality indicators is impeachable. For ERCP cases, rectal NSAID PEP prophylaxis is the ESGE standard for high-risk patients.

The 8 failure modes

Sev 10

Missed CRC — quality indicators not met

CRC found within 5 years of "negative" screening colonoscopy; chart silent on ADR, cecal intubation, withdrawal time.

"It was a clean colonoscopy at the time."
Sev 10

Perforation recognition delay

Post-colonoscopy abdominal pain; imaging not obtained promptly; perforation diagnosed hours later.

"She had some discomfort but I attributed it to insufflation."
Sev 9

ERCP — no PEP prophylaxis

High-risk ERCP patient (young female, prior PEP, SOD) without rectal NSAID per ESGE.

"I don't always use rectal NSAIDs."
Sev 9

Acute GI bleed — endoscopy delayed

Upper GI bleed with hemodynamic instability; EGD not performed within 24 hours per AGA.

"We resuscitated her overnight and scoped in the morning."
Sev 9

Sedation — capnography not used

Moderate/deep sedation without continuous ETCO2 per ASA monitoring standard; desat event.

"We use pulse oximetry — the patient was on a non-rebreather."
Sev 8

Polyp surveillance interval error

Surveillance colonoscopy scheduled too late per USMSTF 2020 intervals; interval cancer.

"She had three small adenomas — I told her to come back in 5 years."
Sev 7

Biopsy handling/labeling error

Biopsies mislabeled or insufficient samples; pathology can't make diagnosis.

"We took a couple of biopsies."
Sev 7

After-hours sedation by non-specialist

Sedation administered by non-anesthesia personnel in setting requiring deep sedation.

"I gave the propofol myself — I'm comfortable with sedation."

The signature impeachment trap

"It was a clean colonoscopy" vs documented quality indicators

Lock the witness into "it was a clean colonoscopy" framing, then juxtapose against the USMSTF/ASGE quality indicators (ADR, withdrawal time, cecal intubation, Boston BPS) that the chart either documents or doesn't.

"It was a clean colonoscopy?" → "Yes."
"ADR is the most-validated quality indicator?" → "Yes."
"Withdrawal time ≥6 minutes is a quality standard?" → "Yes."
"Your procedure note does not document withdrawal time, ADR, or Boston BPS."

Why this lands: witness has framed a documentation gap as a clinical conclusion. The published quality indicators exist because "clean colonoscopy" is exactly the kind of subjective claim the field standardized away from.

FAQ

Why does gastroenterology need its own deposition trainer?

GI cases turn on the procedure note's documented quality indicators (ADR, withdrawal time, cecal intubation, BBPS). The chart documents these or it doesn't. Generic depo-prep AI doesn't engage the USMSTF or ESGE canons.

What guidelines does the AI cite?

USMSTF Quality Indicators for Colonoscopy, USMSTF Post-Colonoscopy Surveillance Recommendations (2020), ESGE Guideline on PEP Prophylaxis.

Does it work for defense expert prep?

Yes. Expert-prep mode runs the AI as hostile plaintiff counsel against your defense gastroenterologist.
