My primary care Dr. had already dropped routine PSA testing. He also says that DRE does not elevate PSA.; very confusing, because the last urologist I saw said it did. I really would like to see them drop the DRE also. I could do without that. And what about routine colonoscopies, which cost far more than prostate tests?

One - Disregard all advice from most all Doctors!

Two - Only get exams when symptoms require it.

Three - Doctors are mostly looking for revenue, that means that they will order tests that you not only NOT need but are not necessary.

Four - Read up on all things about your heath on the Internet.

Five - Ask about costs! Only you can prevent cost expansion because you failed to see if it was necessary.

Six - Never go to Hospitals unless it is absolutely necessary (life and death). Otherwise, you risk catching diseases worse that you went in for!

Seven - Never take an ambulance if you can avoid it.
