Barbieri came to national attention on February 23,2015,after asking a doctor giving testimony if a woman could swallow a camera in order to undergo a remote gynecological exam and received the answer that such was not possible as swallowing a pill will not lead it to the vagina. In response to commentary on social media about the seeming anatomical confusion,he explained his remarks:"I was being rhetorical,because I was trying to make the point that equalizing a colonoscopy to this particular procedure was apples and oranges... So I was asking a rhetorical question that was designed to make her say that they weren't the same thing,and she did so. It was the response I wanted." [17] [18]
However,upon receiving the explanation from the testifying doctor,Barbieri's response was,"Fascinating". The exchange included Barbieri's question:"Can this same procedure then be done in a pregnancy? Swallowing a camera and helping the doctor to determine what the situation is?" Dr. Julie Madsen,MD responded:"Mr. Chairman and Representative,it cannot be done in pregnancy simply because when you swallow a pill it would not end up in the vagina." Barbieri replied,"Fascinating. That certainly makes sense." [19] [20]
