Prostate cancer screening can save lives

I would just like to add (as Debbie Downer ) that if your doctor sucks regular visits won't make any difference *sigh. So, yes, go every year BUT make sure your doctor is top-notch ! I personally go to physical every year and it is useless visit every single time. She basically only checks my cholesterol and thyroid level and than chit chat with me for an hour. When I come home and read online her "medical notes" I always have a good laugh since "on paper" I was examined from top of head to the bottom of my feet ! Even breast exam was supposedly performed !!! I mean, hilarious XP . Previous doctor was the same way BTW. So I pay for complete blood-work myself and for urine analysis in local Lab. and do regular mammogram and "hope for the best". AND, don't even start me with my husband's failed surveillance for PC .

Perhaps Dr. Chitchat feels comfortable putting aside her professional demeanor and just likes to talk to you as a friend. You may be helping her more than she is helping you, which can be a priceless thing. This might be a good forum for your husband. Does he belong?

@surfohealth88 Have you ever requested a copy of your doctor visit reports .?
You will be SHOCKED what they write to protect their a --s . You will think you are reading someone elses report .
A CAUTION : If you use your doctors word only and you are filling out an INSURANCE POLICY based on his verbage only . SURPRISE , SURPRISE - if you have a claim the innsurance carrier will access your " WRITTEN VISIT REPORT " and often deny your claim , as you entered an incorrect insurance question , based on the doctors ' VERBAGE ONLY " .
When you leave the doctors office - Do you know what he writes in you official medical records ? ?? From a wise , long in the tooth . practiced : Personal Injury Lawyer .
