Practical Pediatric Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. Группа авторов
and was always there for me if I needed a bit of guidance or advice. What he did not know about pediatric endoscopy is not worth knowing. A polymath and a multi‐linguist, but above all a really nice man and a wise and good doctor. We will miss both of these guys greatly in the future.
Please enjoy this text if you can, and believe me when I say that this is the distillation of a life’s work, but not just mine ‐ it is a distillation of all that I have been taught and that George has been taught ‐ it is therefore the ‘handing down of knowledge’ which is key to keeping a discipline moving forwards.
YOU! – the next generation – continue to push paediatric endoscopy forwards – training, research, Courses, expansion of the ELZ, further collaboration with our friends all over the world and push for live endoscopy at all the annual meetings – but please remember that, like our counterparts in adult GI endoscopy, we should be recognized and have a say on the Councils of our respective Societies.
Can I just mention some amazing people that deserve it who have been mentioned and some who have not? Andrei Nita; Jorge Amil‐Dias; Alexandra Papadopoulos; Marc Benninga; Nikhil Thapar; Pete Lewindon; Tom Attard; Warren Hyer; Muftah Eltumi; Paul Hurlstone; Mark Donnelly; Mark McAlindon; Stuart Riley; Deb Salvin (of the world‐famous ‘Salvin procedure’); Dom Hughes; Helen Wigmore; Ben Roebuck, Jamie Shepherd; Dave Turnbull; Liz Allison; and of course all the extremely patient authors of all the Chapters.
Our work would not have been possible without the trust and cooperation of all the children and families, so much heartfelt gratitude goes to these – tens of thousands!
My working life has been orchestrated by two amazing PAs without whom I would never have found the time to do all of this. Sam – thank you! Kate – thank you! You are both incredible.
Thank you to the amazing team at the publishing house – Anupama Sreekanth and editing team all along the gestation and birth i.e. April 2021, including lastly Holly Regan‐Jones, who was amazing during ‘labour’. Lastly the production to completion expertly orchestrated by Hari Sridharan – thanks for your patience!
Undoubtedly there will be mistakes somewhere in all these pages, and if there are then, we’ll get it right next time (please let us know) ‐ but it has been a labour of love and thank you to everyone – absolutely everyone – that has contributed, in even the smallest way.
The FatBoys Fell Running Club of Hathersage deserve a special mention for keeping me sane and balancing my life – to whom I lost my virginity (in fell racing terms!) – ‘a drinking club with a running problem’!
Lastly a big hug and love to my dear long‐suffering wife Kay – thank you for putting up with me. And my fab daughters Ella, Jess and Flo, of whom I am immensely proud – sorry for the holiday time taken up with writing etc!!!
And as Sir Steve Redgrave, the most famous Olympic rower, said, on winning his last gold medal ‘If you ever see me in a boat again, shoot me!’ ‐ and that goes for textbooks for me as well.
