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 youre
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 mans vasectomy was
accidentally live streamed on Facebook Live after a hospital intern had
filmed the operation and accidentally leaked the video on Facebook.
