Excerpt

On January 8, 2021, our dear friend and my mentor, Donald O. Castell, passed away as part of this horrible COVID pandemic. Anointed the “Pope of Esophagology” by Professor Robert Guili, a Parisian surgeon, Don Castell’s name was synonymous with the field of esophageal motility and diseases of the esophagus. His legacy will be the countless young physicians he instilled a passion for esophageal research and the joys of a career in academic gastroenterology worldwide.
