New Hampshire| A patient undergoing a colonoscopy had the surprise of his
life when he realized his anal probe had been streamed live on Facebook.

Dr. Henry, proctologist and rectal surgeon at the New Hampshire Medical
Center, was trying out a new technology that allows patients to watch
their colonoscopy on their cell phones during the procedure.

�A colonoscopy can be a traumatizing thing for many patients and so we try
to escort them through the process. Through the use of technology, we try
to make the whole experience more pleasant,� he told reporters.

�Unbeknownst to me and my patient, he had activated the video stream live
on his Facebook feed. I guess this kind of stuff happens when you�re
testing out new technology,� he laughed away.

The patient, Tom Hardy said the live video streaming of his colonoscopy on
Facebook sent chills through the spines of his family, friends and even
his coworkers.

�I have a pretty close relationship with some of my coworkers, but sharing
the interior of my anus with them all was a bit intense� he admits,
visibly traumatized.

�I lost almost 50 Facebook friends that day and Facebook closed my account
for three days saying I had posted indecent material� he recalls.

Last year, a similar case happened in Florida when a man�s vasectomy was
accidentally live streamed on Facebook Live after a hospital intern had
filmed the operation and accidentally leaked the video on Facebook.

Good for a chuckle, but getting enraged seems to be the "right" thing to
do for many.

Sort of like Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction. No harm to anyone
but some have to have a hissy fit.

Ah well - another reason to laugh at American prudes.

Here's something better and worthwhile to read:

I'll bet Rudy and Joel have the video saved to their private collection.

Joe Biden is the absolute WORST President Of the U.S. ever.
Nobody else is even close. Including Jimmy Carter.
Vote for ANYBODY but Joe Biden in 2024.

Ha ha ha, I'm not into medical bullshit. I didn't do the mail-in poop

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

Why? When I've had the procedure there's been 44" ultra-HD screens to
look at. I'll ask them to tune in to a football (soccer to some)
channel if there is a next time.

Why ever wait to finish a job before starting the next?

Why watch on a cell-phone when you can watch on a big TV screen ! Me
too - quite intriguing. And got a nice sandwich afterwards.

However should not have been made public in any way without consent. But
why would he 'lose 50 Facebook friends' ? Some friends ....

Read again please. It's the patient who inadvertently streamed it.

At best the doctor (or someone) should have warned him to make sure he
wasn't streaming content of any kind.

Ah, OK.

And the doctor should have also warned him to look right and left before
crossing the street .
