Dr. Zegarra, a Sacramento-based medical practitioner is in trouble for advising his patient to perform oral sex at least two times a week on her husband after she complained that her gag reflex may interfere with a scheduled internal examination of her upper gastrointenstinal tract, a procedure known as endoscopy.
Through the procedure, examinations could be carried out on vital organs including some parts of the small intestine, stomach and oesophagus.
Following a complaint filed by the patient, the state medical board of California have issued a public reprimand for the physician.
“This constituted unprofessional conduct, and so this is a message that this probably wasn’t appropriate,” Cassandra Hockenson from the California Medical Board said.
She added that “A more appropriate response should have come with regards to dealing with her gag reflex issues.”
