MISC. A Virginia man inadvertently left his phone recording while he was under anesthesia for a colonoscopy, which captured audio of the doctors: mocking him, instructing a medical assistant to lie to him, and discussing giving him a false diagnosis of hemorrhoids. In 2015, a jury awarded him $500,000.

I just had a failed colonoscopy bc I was thrashing when they inserted the scope. I also punched the anesthesiologist in the face. I can only think what they were saying about me lol

You're supposed to be anesthetized. Most people would be violent in that situation

Common misconception. Canadian subreddits are full of Americans with names like that.
