‘The View’: Whoopi Goldberg Shockingly Suggests Americans Sue The Supreme Court In A Class Action Suit
Joy Behar told her fellow View co-hosts that she was “about to die” after having an ectopic pregnancy in the late 1970s.
The comedian — who previously opened up about the terrifying experience while discussing abortion rights — explained on this morning’s episode of the daytime talk show that she was “on the ground” outside of a funeral because she “could not get up” due to “terrible abdominal cramps” at the time.
“It was horrible,” she said, while Whoopi Goldberg began laughing.
“Don’t laugh yet, it’s not really a funny story,” Behar said.
When the moderator admitted that the thought of Behar “laying on the ground” made her giggle, Behar joked, “This is my motif throughout my life, I’m always falling.”
Rounding back to her story, Behar said she was in “excruciating pain” when her male doctor told her it had “something to do with menstrual cramps.” And instead of sending her to a gynecologist, he prescribed her pain medication.
“He gives me painkillers. It disguises the pain and disguises what it was,” she said. “And then I am at death’s door … In excruciating pain. I’m about to die, actually, because it was an ectopic pregnancy.”
Behar explained that an ectopic pregnancy is when the embryo grows in the fallopian tube until it bursts, causing you to “bleed internally” and ultimately “die if you don’t catch it.”
The conversation all began when the co-host was trying to prove that ChatGPT can sometimes know more than doctors. In an experiment, she asked the artificial intelligence program for potential diagnoses for the symptoms she had back in 1979 before it gave her a slew of possibilities, including ectopic pregnancy.
Meanwhile, Goldberg noted that male doctors have come a long way since Behar’s medical emergency, saying that ChatGPT “isn’t going to make it better,” to which Behar responded, “Well, at least it gave me the option that it could be an ectopic pregnancy.”
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
