OUR MEDICAL SYSTEM IS FILLED WITH IDIOTS!

[Que]

You mean to tell me that we can now cure a newborn coming into the world with AIDS; replace lungs, kidneys and joints; conduct quadruple heart bypasses and get an athlete back on the field in three months after tearing an ACL... but, we can't find another, more humane way to conduct a prostate exam?!

Forget about going to Mars, fixing global warming and avoiding any more fiscal cliffs, until we develop a laser or x-ray to examine the prostate!

Rant off, but certainly not my pain! I can't believe I had to PAY for that!

Face it, Que -- you're just mad because you realized that he had both of his hands on your shoulders during the exam.

There's a couple witty retorts that spring to mind. But in the interest of keeping this a PG site, I'll just keep them to myself.

Funny, mine didn't hurt at all?

Uhhh... I don't know that I'd share that publicly.

Did you at least get dinner and a movie?

My doc doesn't do prostate exams the old fashioned, primitive way. He uses a much more accurate blood test that doesn't involve any real discomfort for either of us. Maybe you need a new doc, one who's keeping up with medical science?

LOL This reminded me of a Tom Mabe wrong number bill collector clip floating around on the net somewhere...

Kind of makes my day not seem all that bad.

They do, but that's for after the digital exam.

I was told that method wasn't reliable for people who look like me. I was also told that I had to start at 35, while others got to start at 40.

Not even a goodbye hug.

That is correct. PSA's aren't that reliable at discovering cancer cells, only managing them post Treatment.

I believe I'm supposed to get checked next year (at 30) due to very high familial risk (over 2/3 of aunt's have had breast cancer). Not looking forward to it.

Have you not learned that the 'Break Room' and eating do not mix? Drinking also is a bad idea unless you like cleaning it off of your keyboard and monitor.

This thread is worthless without.....

Thats why I get liquored up before I go. It helps....it really does.

So are you in physical pain or is it the emotional pain of feeling used and tossed aside?
