Gi vs pulmonary critical care, what's the difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stomach vs lungs : GI stands for gastrointestinal. These doctors specialize in problems dealing with the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Pulmonary doctors specialize in issues pertaining to the lungs and many of these are also critical care specialists.
