Very unlikely: In general, unless it is a true medical emergency, it is unlikely that you will get an endoscopy done in the er. Most patients are scheduled and properly prepped before a procedure to reduce risk. There is some difference between extent and type, so may need to re-ask with more information.

Endoscopy: Typically, an endoscopy is done as a scheduled test with a GI specialist in an endoscopy suite or operating room type of environment.
