a short story ..

my patient has not had a bowel movement in a good four to five days. i talked to him about a suppository. he nodded. i came back five minutes later w/ it in hand. i shut the door. i help him turn around (he's got a lot of back pain so was screaming and moaning the entire process). then i inspect his backside and make sure his ulcer is dressed and intact and looking swell. then i grab the suppository and shove it up. and my patient said to me, in screams "WOO OOO WHAT THE HELL WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE!??!" and i thought to myself .. wow i kinda just raped his anus. and then i felt bad.

later on we discovered he's had significant memory loss in the past week.

note to doc - please assess.
