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.
If memory serves, didn’t we hear some time ago about similar goings on with the equipment used for colonoscopies?
It is certainly logical to assume that this lackadaisical attitude toward sterilization is not limited to one area.
