A Lawmaker Asked If Women Could Get Gyno Exams By Swallowing A Camera

A doctor had to explain that when you swallow things they do not end up in the vagina.


The Associated Press reported that after Dr. Julie Madsen, a physician testifying in opposition to the bill, described the procedure of telemedicine colonoscopies, Idaho Representative Republican Vito Barbieri asked her, "Can this same procedure then be done in a pregnancy? Swallowing a camera and helping the doctor determine what the situation is?"
