I would share some of the things I learned today about fissures, fistulas, polyps, ulcers, dysentery, Crohn's disease, tooth decay, IBS, GERD, oral leukoplakia, cirrhosis of the liver, hepatitis A, B & C, constipation, diarrhea, intussusception, volvulus, malabsorption syndrome, esophageal varices, adeno- and gastric carcinomas, achlasia, melena, as well as the workings of mechanical and chemical digestion, but I have to go make dinner and think about it while I'm eating.
Oh, and choledocholithiasis is gallstones within the common bile duct.
(choledoch/o = common bile dict; lith/o = stone; -iasis = abnormal condition)
