I complain about bad lawsuits, so I must give equal time to good ones: FOXNews.com - 'Please Don't Do That': Man Says Hospital Forced Rectal Exam - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News So let me get this straight. A man is hit in the head, he goes to the hospital and they want to inspect his rectum, he does not want the inspection so they decide to force the exam on him, he resists their force, and they knock him out and do it anyway. I cannot see how the hospital can defend their actions in this case. Even if the exam was a "very good" test to check for spinal damage, it is still this person's body and if they don't want the exam, they don't do the exam. They should have taken the time to fully explain the need for the exam to try and get his approval, not force him to comply with their wishes. Can anyone offer a good reason for the hospitals actions?
No, I know quite a few nurses who work in Boston in some of the best hospitals, and they are scared to death of lawsuits nowadays, they do everything by the book. This seems like a violation of his rights.
Well at least they could'a done was kiss him on the neck before they stuck the finger up his ass. No they should've made him sign a waver stating he didn't want the exam. The hospital has to check him out. If not and he dose have a spinal injury they could be sued for that too.
