A good friend of mine was telling me recently of his reluctance to get his prostate checked and a colonoscopy done. So I thought I’d kick him in the lower regions with another prostate post, a follow-up to my March 13 post.
My wife and I have been watching the early Sopranos’ shows on DVD. In one episode, Tony’s psychiatrist Dr. Melfi asks him if he’s had his prostate checked. He laughs her off with, “Hey, I don’t even let anyone wave a finger in my face.”
“Too many men avoid prostate check-ups because of the doctor’s Digital Rectal Exam (DRE). We think that’s cowardly.”
That weblog blurb is from Kim Garretson, the creator of Man’s Gland.
