'Please don't do that': Man says NY hospital forced rectal exam

[Miranda&James 8]

I would think that if they believed he was in serious medical condition, they are required to treat him and investigate potential injuries. I mean, seriously, if they had a suspicion my spine may be injured they can stick their hand where they want! I'd rather have a sore butt than an untreated spinal injury.

I didn't know they check for a spinal injury by a rectal exam. Isn't that what X-Rays are for?

As far as I know, they don't. If anything, they could potentially aggravate a spinal injury by performing a rectal exam, since the patient usually needs to be in a standing or bending over position. Neither of which are good if the patient has a spinal injury. Even if that weren't the case, most men tend to "jump" a little during the exam itself (since the physician is probing a sensitive area) and such movement would do nothing but further injure the patient as well.

Most men? Does this mean women tend to lie there unmoving? Wait. Don't answer that.

I suppose I said "men" before because I was thinking about prostate examinations. If you have no idea how those are performed, either consider yourself very lucky (if you're a young male or a female of any age) or think about getting one immediately if you're a male around the age of 50 or over. Regardless, most men find this exam very uncomfortable.

If I remember correctly, the first time it was done to me, I screamed. Of course, I didn't know what to expect either.
