Actually, there is another important difference here: You go see your doctor of your own free will expecting to get help.

Hardly the case with the cops who slam you down on the pavement, cuff you, throw you into the back seat, haul you off to the station house, and then beat a confession out of you in a backroom.

Or is that just good police procedure?

Well, if you have your tonsils out, you will first sign a paper, or a bunch of them, telling you all the risks you are running by choosing the surgery. If the doctor doesn't get you to sign it, he or she can be sued if one of the complications occurs. By handing you those papers, the doctor is discussing a later possible suit with you and telling you you won't win it.
