Wasn't this the plot of an episode of Family Guy a couple years ago?

According to Medical Daily, Keith claimed that the ultrasound turned into an hour of physical abuse and that the hospital technician “repeatedly jammed the probe into various internal portions of [her] vagina, include her cervix.”

"Felt like rape" could've been a reasonable claim depending on how true her story is, and we don't know for sure. I'd rather see an article on the outcome of this trial with all the information presented.

***Comment retracted...original should have been worded much differently, not worth restating.

“My husband and I don't have any type of intimacy, because I don't want anybody touching me. I have physical things that are the matter with me ...

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the physical aspect isn't half of it. Poor woman.

Well anyone can "feel" anything being done to them is "rape".

Having a q-tip shoved into your ear, could be construed as "ear rape", Having someone stick a finger in your belly button is "tummy rape".

Having problems when they try to stick a needle in your arm, could be called needle rape...

Too bad /u/everythingisrape is gone.

Because they are trying to make everything rape it actually demeans actual rapes.

What if the genders were reversed?

A man has filed a lawsuit against Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, Ill., claiming that a colonoscopy he received there made him feel like he “was being raped,” Medical Daily reported. Mark Keith, 52, said he came to the medical center in February with severe stomach pain, and the doctors recommended he have the procedure done in order to look for potential abnormalities in his intestines. Colonoscopies are frequently utilized during cancer screenings but can also be used for diagnostic purposes. According to Medical Daily, Keith claimed that the colonoscopy turned into an hour of physical abuse and that the hospital technician “repeatedly jammed the probe into various internal portions of [his] rectum, include his prostate.” "After I left the hospital, I knew by how much pain I was in that something was done to me," Keith told reporters. Keith said that he has had several colonoscopies in the past during regular visits, but none of those procedures compared to the incident in February. He says he now has recurring nightmares of being trapped and having to go through the procedure again “My wife and I don't have any type of intimacy, because I don't want anybody touching me. I have physical things that are the matter with me, and I can’t even go to the doctor anymore," Keith said. Advocate Condell Medical Center has not commented on the incident, according to Medical Daily.

Would you mock this man who was a victim of medical malpractice?
