Insect finds more common than expected? Doctors find live fly in intestine. Despite gastric juices and laxatives, doctors find an intact insect in a man's intestines.
“To have a fly as intact as this one is simply unthinkable,” said Dr. Matthew Bechtold, a gastroenterologist at University of Missouri Health Care. Of his approximately 30,000 colonoscopies, the doctor has only discovered an insect once. In Germany, all statutory health insurance patients aged 50 and over are entitled to a colonoscopy.
