I’ve regularly complained about the dearth of real innovation over the last 10 - 15 years.

Well, I am willing to give credit where credit is due.

A New York construction worker has invented teleproctology:

New York police have arrested construction worker, John Brady, 49, in a rather odd crime. Brady is accused of calling people and posing as a doctor. He would then convinced them to give themselves a rectal examination while he was on the telephone.

Brady was finally apprehended after a 34-year-old woman became suspicious after giving herself a rectal examination when she realized later that Brady “did not represent a medical establishment.” She then called police.

As Jonathan Turley notes, “There are actually people who will give themselves rectal examinations when called by a stranger.”
