Physicals suck

Last time I had one of those I was in grade school and the female nurse (not a very attractive one)had all us boys in a line stripped to our undies while she felt our sacks with her bare hands. Yup. I'll remember that forever.

They check from the inside, from the nearest available port; it's not a hernia check, aaarrrrgggghhhhh

I especially like the part where the doctor tosses a box of tissues your way to clean your self up with as he walks out the door all the while your still in shock that some dude just rammed his finger up arse as your still bent over with your pants around your ankles, so violated and used...! 

Yup. It's the dreaded "digital" exam. No "turn your head and cough".

Can't say it hurts, but it's not something to look forward to. I like the part where they tell you to "relax". Yeah.
Anyway, as Pierre mentioned, my doctor also said the current school of thought is the exams and the blood test often produce false positives that lead to more invasive action. That said, I know two people who had prostate cancer, and one of 'em is in the ground. The other guy got radioactive "seeds" poked in there to fix it. I told my doctor I'd err on the side of caution and get the exam 'cause I didn't want to expire from "blossom end rot" . . .

They should give two tissues, one to clean up and one to wipe the tears out of your eyes.

Ok Sonny, my engraver is going through all of this right now.  You need to do everything they tell you to do and do not put anything off.  Don't put anything off till next week and do everything they tell you to do when they tell you to do it.  You have the PSA level that indicates that something is going on down there so do not take this lightly and you'll be just fine.
