During colonoscopy or rectal surgery, is every dr in the room allowed to probe your anus?

The colorectal surgeon who invited Dr Hill to examine the patient said it was a “once in a lifetime opportunity” to feel the large tumour, Acting Judge Jennifer Boland said in Wednesday’s ruling.
The surgeon also said he’d photographed Dr Hill on his mobile phone and would distribute the pictures to other anaesthetists.

I get a security warning on your link. Curses!

I've been in and out of teaching hospitals and don't object to "can so-and-so observe/assist" type stuff. But if the nurses are trying to get the doctor to stop, well, that's a pretty BIG FUCKING RED FLAG. Dude. WTF.

No, only the ones that won in the draw.

I can talk to this! I just had a partial colectomy 3 months ago due to a twisted colon, and last week did the colostomy reversal (yay I'm whole again). In between I had a colonoscopy to ensure the reversal was even possible. The colonoscopy was thankfully through my stoma opening rather than my rear end, and I hosted just 1 nurse, my surgeon, and the anesthesiologist. I was completely naked under my gown on the table. Since they had put me out for all 3 procedures, they could've invited my ex-gf and all her friends into the room and I wouldn't know. So why would I care right????????

I will add that my colon was so enlarged due to the blockage that it was the diameter of my thigh. Surgeon showed me a picture that he took of it on his cell phone and said he'd never seen anything like it. I accept that for science and "oh wow" things like this can get out and since it was no longer attached to me, I couldn't care less. If someone not related to science were to feel me up while asleep, then yes that's a different story. Even though the other guy in the story was a doc, he was there unnecessarily so it's a real gray area.

Yeah, "security risk." Not everyone is allowed to see what's up your ass.

Not to mention that fact that the doctor involved is not a colorectal surgeon or anything even close. He is an anesthesiologist for cripes' sake. One who wasn't observing or assisting some procedure. He was just curious.

Pics?

TBH the circumstances in that particular story don't really seem wrong to me, it's probably going against protocol and all that, but it sounds like they were more interested in the medical aspect of it, it was not sexual or anything like that.

Here in Ontario it won't be a problem as they will not be giving you any anesthetic for it anymore thanks to Doug Ford. So you'll be awake and able to give consent. I guess that's the pro of being awake for it.

Does the extra probing affect the bottom line?

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

OP are you "asking for a friend"?

WTF, that's just wrong. What was the reasoning behind this?

 

[zinfamous]

yes, they all take turns.

 

[RLGL]

Is that where you keep your stash?

 

[Midwayman]

Unconscious? What do I care? Take some selfies. Not like anyone is doing to ID me by my anus.

They do tag you when they post it on Instagram though

I look forward to the HIPAA settlement.

Kind of gives a new spin on..


"Business in the front, Party in the back!" doesn't it?

 

[Red Squirrel]

Being conservative. Conservatives are just assholes and like to shit on health care and education by making ridiculous cuts. Remember Rob Ford, it's his brother that made the decision since he's premier of Ontario. His new motto is "open for business" and guess you may as well be awake when they go in.

I think they will still give some kind of pain nummer but I'm not sure.

 

[Perknose]

Touching story.

But why all the anger at the anesthesiologist getting a little behind in his work?

I'm not sure it's fair to make the patient the butt of your joke.

Cheeky response.

 

[nakedfrog]

Yeah, I should be more careful when I crack wise, or I'll make an ass of myself.

Could just be a shitty outlook.
