this guy went to the hospital for a head injury and was told he needed a rectal exam. he refused and they sedated and forced it on him, and when he punched one of the doctors he was arrested for assault (article here: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/16/forced-rectal-exam-stirs-ethics-questions/now, the question is were the doctors wrong to do this? or were they merely doing their jobs and acting in the patient's best medical interests? (asked in philosophy because it is a moral/ethical issue)
