I got a call from my GP on an unrelated matter. I mentioned that I'd like to book another of the six-weekly blood tests that are required for me to get repeat prescriptions.
Me: "......can you do a PSA test at the same time?"
GP: " Do you have any particular concerns or symptoms?"
Me: " Not anything too awful but I probably piss more frequently than I used to."
GP: " The PSA test is pretty unreliable. Actually, it's crap."
Me: " I've heard that too"
GP: " Come in on the 28th, we can discuss this and we can give you an examination."
Me: "...…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….Oh Christ!...……………………………."
GP: " Yes...…………………………."Oh Christ"...…"
Me: {nervous giggle}
Well, I've been dodging this one all my life, and I feel a strange sense of relief.
