Moderator's Introduction

I am pleased to welcome Dr John Bond as our guest discussant. Dr Bond is Professor of Medicine at the University of Minnesota and Chief of the Gastroenterology Division at the Minneapolis Veterans' Administration Medical Center. His main claim to fame is, of course, having been a former teacher of mine. However, he is also recognized nationally and internationally as an expert in colon disorders, especially the management of colon polyps and screening for colon cancer. He brings a wealth of experience to the discussion of this case.
