SovereignMan.com has an article regarding a woman's interaction with US Customs and Border Protection:
According to the published case files, she was frisked, and then ordered to squat so that a drug-sniffing dog could check out her nether regions.
Apparently the dog liked what he smelled, because Ms. Doe was then taken to yet another room, ordered to pull down her pants, and crouch.
At that point an agent from Customs and Border Protection "inspected her anus with a flashlight."
She was then ordered to lean backwards in a crouched position, after which another agent inserted a speculum into her vagina to search for drugs.
Another agent then "parted Ms. Doe's vulva with her hand, pressed her fingers into Ms. Doe's vagina, and visually examined her genitalia with a flashlight."
They then took her to a hospital for a further 6 hours of involuntary testing, which included forcing her to have a bowel movement as they all watched, plus X-rays, CT scans, and more.
[...] Ms. Doe was "brutally probed against her will" for hours and hours without judicial oversight, due process, or even reasonable suspicion. And they found nothing.
[...] They told her that if she signed a consent form, retroactively giving her permission to be abused and violated, that the government would pay for all the tests and various medical expenses.
But if she didn't sign the consent form, she'd have to pay for them all herself.
Ms. Doe refused to sign, and the United States government sent her a bill for more than $5,000, essentially demanding that she pay for her own sexual assault.
Emotionally shattered she went home feeling like a rape victim. She sued.
[...] Finally, as of a few days ago, the case has been settled. And the US government agreed to pay Ms. Doe $475,000.

I'd also file medical complaints against every person even loosely associated with any interaction at the hospital. If doctors/nurses start getting penalized by their licensing board and/or losing their licenses then this stuff would stop real quick.

Yeah, I was thinking much the same thing. I'm shocked that any doctors or nurses would willingly participate in this sham. Not only should they be facing criminal charges for sexual assault but they most definitely need to lose their licenses to practice medicine. Also, why would the hospital even allow this to be done on their premises? The hospital needs to be put under new management; fire every last person that had a hand in this.

i doubt the doctors and nurses were willing participants. they were likely orders by the government officials, and everyone knows if you don't follow instructions of government officials you're a terrorist

Indeed, performing procedures they know are not in the patient's interest and against patient consent are cardinal sins (and crimes) in the medical profession. They should be expelled from it as a result. Perhaps after considerable ethical re-training they could re-apply.
As for the customs people, they have proven unable to handle any form of authority over others. Perhaps they are more suited to manual labor or clerical work (though, only the lowest levels of the latter, no power to approve or deny anything).

Actually, no, they shouldn't. There are some violations of the Hippocratic oath that are so egregious that it should permanently bar them from the medical profession.

if that happened to me, once I collected my wits, out be out for nothing less than scorched earth in anyone/thing/place involved.
I'd make it my life mission, using all my income possible, to make everyone's life a living hell. legally, of course.
you came at me like that, you just made a terrorist. this is what makes normal people flip. and we seem to not even realize it or care.
