Comprehensive CCs: GI Surgery

NB: this quiz is RANDOMISED, so you will be asked 20 different questions every time. There are currently 99 questions.

For answers which can be phrased multiple ways, e.g. "CT scan", "CT abdomen and pelvis", "CTAP", all reasonable alternatives should work.

"ERCP" and "MRCP" are accepted; I can't be bothered typing their full names
