I was surprised recently to learn that lots of colonoscopies in the US are not performed by gastroenterologistsâphysicians who, of course, specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive conditions. Primary-care doctors and general surgeons also are doing these vitally important screenings that can detect and save a patient from cancer. Do they do as good a job?
