Colonoscopy Delays Explained

You're at the company vending machine getting a prune juice with a colleague when the topic of conversation turns to colonoscopies. It hasn't happened to you? Then give it a few years. At any rate, you find out that you and your colleague had the same problem - you had a strong urge to get a colonoscopy but the line was way too long. You looked and you looked, but you couldn't find a shorter line.

It might not make you feel any better, but an explanation has now come out. According the the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, One of America's Great Newspapers, a man named Miclael Marburger has been charged with taking 66 colonoscopes from hospitals throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia and then selling them to various medical equipment distributors, between March, 2004 and July, 2006.

Michael Marburger was charged in federal court in Pittsburgh yesterday by a criminal information with 66 counts of transporting stolen goods across state lines, and 37,000 counts of causing a pain in the ass.
