Doctors from a Michigan hospital networkare being investigatedafter they allegedly posted photos of themselvesin the operating room, holding up patients' organs and asking Instagram users to guess their weight for a “Price Is Right”-style game.

“The other game we play in the OR [operating room] is guess that weight. It applies to much more than just babies. As always, ‘Price Is Right’ rules apply so if you go over then you’re out!!” the caption said on the photo of a doctor holding up an organ.

In the photo with the fibroid tissue, the doctors said, “We get a little competitive when your… attending [physician] challenges you in morcellation. Longest one wins! Good work.”

The doctors overseeing the Instagram account, which has since been removed, said in their bio that they are 35 OB-GYN residents from around the U.S. who are currently training at Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids. The hospital network, which includes 14 hospitals across Western Michigan, said they did not approve the Instagram account and are “actively and comprehensively investigating” the people involved.
