re: #398 RogueOne

Butt in this case he wasn’t. He passed the other tests, the only thing left to do was the rectal exam which he declined. The only evidence of a possible concussion was a bump on the head.

It’s possible he wasn’t alert & oriented when he arrived at the hospital. Also, if they didn’t perform the procedure, and he did have a more serious injury, he would have sued for that. His saying he can no longer work because someone stuck a finger up his butt is a little silly:

“Psychologically, it changed his life completely,” Mr. Marrone said of the episode. “He hasn’t been able to work. He has absolutely no trust in the system at all: doctors or the police. He has post-traumatic stress syndrome.” Mr. Persaud has been under the care of a psychiatrist who made the diagnosis, Mr. Marrone said.
