2: Endoscopy being the most accurate test for esphageal ca and esophagram being the most accurate test of diverticula or rings, what is the "best initial test" for each?

3: In a case of suspected acute bacterial gastroenteritis, what is the "best iinitial test"? And when do you do fecal leukocytes?
