New York Presbyter...Take a look at Brian Persaud v. New York Presbyterian Hospital http://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/other-courts/2007/2007-27546.html. A rectal exam was reportedly forced on Persaud by a female resident who was ordered to perform the procedure by an emergency room physician at NY Presby. Persaud found an attorney who filed suit against the hospital. The hospital appealed to a judge to make a summary judgement effectively preventing the case from going to trial. The judge refused, the case was tried, the hospital won. The legal theory used by the plaintiff had to do with the right of patients to refuse treatment even if to do so could cause them harm or death, unless the patient was not of sound mind. The plaintiff's attorney gave evidence that this right has been recognized by law since the early 20th century. One jury member gave her and other jury members' reasoning behind their decision. The reasoning was specious; the jury, in effect if not by design, used their power of jury nullification to ignore the law.<br /><br />Ray<br /><br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4342904927893751026.post-36006831438763252202014-11-12T12:30:00.810-08:002014-11-12T12:30:00.810-08:00I personally think it's a healthy mix of docto...I personally think it's a healthy mix of doctors who are in love with the power trip, and doctors who are sexual deviants. Why else would they not simply use an ultra sound or something similar for a prostate check? why else would they insist on the patient getting completely naked, yes naked...(wearing socks and an open gown with your dick hanging out is naked... anyone who doesn't believe that is either a complete moron, or just making excuses and nothing more) for exams or procedures that have nothing remotely to do with ANYTHING connected from the waist down? Why would they have made it standard procedure for so long to have anyone who was in any kind of trauma accident subject to a finger up the ass, regardless of severity or symptoms... (don't make sure they can wiggle their toes to check for spinal damage... jam your finger up their ass ... that'll tell you for sure if they can walk..)<br /><br />if doctors had to learn on each other instead of raping patients, I have no doubt they'd come up with less invasive methods pretty damn quick. <br /><br />Jason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
