Are you saying you didn’t do sedation in fellowship and now will as an attending?

I would not be reading books about how to scope/sedate the week before your job...hopefully you spent lots of time over the last 3 years figuring that out.
How much time for each case do you have on your schedule?

lol no. havent scoped in 2 months. was asking to see if ppl in the past had issues in their first week, being rusty, after not scoping for a while. Its always different when you ask for 2 and 50 to start and there is noone else to fall back for advice.
an hour for a case(EGD or colon or double). it will work out to about 45 mins per case

That’s a lot more time than you’ll need once you are seasoned. You’ll be fine. I wouldn’t read anything
