Stop Yer Bitchin': The Rectal Exam was a Freebie!

A construction worker who was hit in the forehead has filed a lawsuit against a NY hospital claiming that they forced a rectal examination on him.

Brian Persaud, 38, says in court papers that after he denied a request by NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital emergency room employees to examine his rectum, he was "assaulted, battered and falsely imprisoned."

... Emergency room staffers insisted on examining his rectum and held him down while he begged, "Please don't do that." He said Persaud hit a doctor while flailing around and staffers gave him an injection, which knocked him out, and performed the rectal exam.

Persaud woke up handcuffed to a bed and with an oxygen tube down his throat, the lawyer said, and spent three days in a detention center.

What the hell are you filing a lawsuit for? You just got a rectal exam without having to get a referral. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get your bum looked out without wading through weeks of bureaucratic red tape? You're a lucky son of a bitch, Persaud. Don't look a gift horse in the ass.
