At least he got a free colonoscopy!

Uh, no. The medical center is billing him for the procedures. . . and, since he was not properly cleaned out, and the doctor really was not looking for cancerous polyps and other issues, nor could he have distinguished problems in an unprepared colon, it was a useless, unethical, assault on an unwilling patient that went far beyond the standard of care. That doctor is in danger of losing his license to practice medicine, is probably in danger of being hit with assault and battery charges, and will lose a malpractice case. He is also in violation of Federal HIIPA laws for sharing patient medical data with unauthorized personnel—the police officers—since the search warrant was null and void in his county. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
