I am a 21 year old female who has been battling with internal bleeding for the past 3 weeks.

My doctors cant find where the bleeding is coming from. Last wk the bleeding was worse than ever, so
I went to the ER. The male dr came back, walked in & told me to lay on my side. He pulled my pants
down & was being rough, not sensitive to the fact that I was in a lot of pain, & did a rectal exam.
He never told me that he was going to do an exam, I had no warning or choice. I was crying the whole
time. There was NOT a woman in the room with us, it was just me & the male dr. After it was done, I
realized the curtain looking into the next room was left open, with a patient staring at me, who
just watched the whole thing. It was the most horrific experience of my life. Less than a half hr
later he discharged me with gastritis which my GI dr has already ruled out. I was still bleeding &
in a lot of pain & they wouldnt do any more testing. They told me if I had pain or bleeding to come
back... which is what I was there for in the first place. Would it be worth it to try & file a law
suit?
