A California doctor has been publicly reprimanded by the state's medical board after he told a patient that oral sex was the best remedy for a sensitive gag reflex.

The patient, an unidentified woman, complained that the surgeon told her to practice oral sex on her husband "twice a week" prior to her upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedure as a way of allaying the reflex.

The doctor, J. Peter Zegarra, made the suggestion in front of the woman and her husband "several year ago." According to CBS Sacramento, Zegarra had tried twice to expunge the complaint from the public record.
