endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) endoscopes
is that something that goes in your ass?

It can be, there are different types and usages.
My advice, stay out of the hospital.

No, it’s for a procedure to help clear out the gallbladder.
“Endoscope” is short for “esophogogastroduodenoscope” (EGD scope/scopy), endo simply meaning “in”.
Note also this is NOT the standard EGD I get all the time to check down through the stomach (gastro). The titles are a bit misleading.
