A US man wrongly suspected of hiding drugs in his colon was reportedly given a rectal probe - and billed for the unwanted examination.
Torrence Jackson said he refused consent for the invasive procedure, and suffered internal injuries as a result.
The hospital sent Mr Jackson, 42, a bill for $4,595.12 (£3,600).
He was stopped in his car by police after failing to signal, police say. Officers found a bag of marijuana and cocaine residue in Mr Jackson's vehicle.
Police officer Anthony Fiorini said Mr Jackson's posture in the car was consistent with someone hiding drugs in his rectum.
Police obtained a court warrant to perform a sigmoidoscopy, using a flexible 8in tube.
After the procedure found no drugs, Mr Jackson was released and said he only learned what doctors had done when he found blood in his underwear. "I felt tampered with," he told the newspaper.
Upon release, the hospital had a debt collectors' agency pursue Mr Jackson over the medical bill.
He refused to pay and the matter was ultimately dropped.

Yeah, that is a hot service in San Fagsicko.........
Go straight to the Postmaster and file a Formal Criminal Complaint for MAIL FRAUD!!!
It’s straight out of Brazil (the Terry Gilliam movie):

Mr. Helpmann, what would you say
to those critics who maintain that
the Ministry Of Information has
become too large and unwieldy... ?
HELPMANN
David... in a free society
information is the name of the
game. You can’t win the game if
you’re a man short.
INTERVIEWER
And the cost of it all, Deputy
Minister? Seven percent of the
gross national produce...
HELPMANN
I understand this concern on behalf
of the tax-payers. People want
value for money and a cost-effective
service.
That is why we always insist on
the principle of Information
Retrieval Charges. These terrorists
are not pulling their weight, and
it’s absolutely right and fair
that those found guilty should pay
for their periods of detention and
the Information Retrieval Procedures
used in their interrogation.
Is the correct headline. The police didn't bill him.
but you’d think that he’d ask why he was being put under, or that he’d have heard them talking about it, etc.

Versed causes loss of memory ... you’ll lose everything from the time the drug is administered going backwards to your last sleep cycle.
LOL, people lining up to get shot up with Versed and have something inserted.
Another planet.
For all we know, they did tell him. Anesthesia does do odd things. Last time I had surgery, I completely had a full conversation with the surgeon and remember absolutely nothing about it. My wife laughed at that...
