Don’t (under any circumstances) go to the hospital in New York. Especially, not with a head injury. It could end badly. It did for this guy:

“A construction worker claimed in a lawsuit that when he went to a hospital after being hit on the forehead by a falling wooden beam, emergency room staffers forcibly gave him a rectal examination.”

OUCH! I would like to think if I get hit on the head, the doctors would start at the right end. I would prefer they pay a little more attention to my head –and a significantly less amount of time on my butt. I daresay, even NO time on my butt.

The AP article goes on to say that after Brian Persaud, 38, denied a request by NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital emergency room employees to examine his rectum, he was “assaulted, battered and falsely imprisoned.”

Okay, I never want to hear another New York comic make fun of the south, or the midwest, or anywhere else for that matter for being inbred hicks, because Deliverance it seems has come to the Big Apple. When Brian woke up, he was “handcuffed to a bed and with an oxygen tube down his throat.”

Shocking! And all right there in the hospital. I was planning on going to New York this summer, but I think I’ll pass. I might do a rafting trip in Georgia instead. Seems a lot safer…

Carry on, Citizens!
