Reminds me of my most recent visit to my internist for my annual physical. The nurse/receptionist was filling out some forms and asked when was my last colonoscopy. I said when you ask me that question next year the answer will be the same, never. She said they strongly recommend them for those over 50 and I was 20 years beyond that. I answered, so I guess it did not matter than since 50 was so long ago and obviously there has been no problems. I added, I have no family history, I monitor my diet well, and I never engaged in any recently considered normal sex behaviors that were previously considered high risk and unlawful. She left.

I’ve had 3, not a problem as I have the best Dr in the State....this from my Primary who I have seen for 26 years, and was a Godsend when my first wife was dying of melanoma.

I recently visited my urologist for the typical male problems. The nurse took blood, got a urine sample and left me for the doctor. Doctor comes in, gives me the remove everything and bend over the table look, which I do, knowing what is about to happen.

Doctor asks me what brought me in today and I tell him. He does his prostate exam which from glove on to “here are some tissues to clean up” lasts less than 3 seconds. What I did find out is shouting, “WTF” does make the doctor chuckle. He then gives me a prescription and tells me the main side effect is involuntary orgasm.

So for the next three months it is no tan pants, and all business meetings take place where I can sit at a table.

Cologuard, etc. is what they are recommending now.

Do not, not slough that off. I scoffed too and finally got one to stop my dads nagging. Three polyps the first go round, none malignant then or in subsequent scans.
Had a co-worker go out with colon cancer. He died hard. Very, very hard.
