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

Should there be a limited number of doctors allowed to probe your anus while you are unconscious?

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.

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.

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.
 
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. 😛

WTF, that's just wrong. What was the reasoning behind this?
 
Unconscious? What do I care? Take some selfies. Not like anyone is doing to ID me by my anus.

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.
 
Touching story.

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