title: Famous endoscopy quotes.
abstract: These quotations, whether humorous or serious, provide insight into how gastroenterology nurses, gastroenterologists, and endoscopists feel about themselves as professionals, how other healthcare professionals perceive them, and their image in popular culture. Recognition of these aspects of gastroenterology nursing, gastroenterology, and endoscopy are important for self-improvement, correcting public misperceptions, and appreciating how patient misperceptions about gastroenterology nurses and gastroenterologists and patient attitudes toward endoscopy may present barriers that gastroenterology professionals must overcome to improve patient care. These quotations also fulfill a need for witticisms during dry endoscopy lectures!
