Doctors don’t do that anymore because it’s not a reliable test; they just do blood work now.
If your doctor still does this, it’s probably for nefarious reasons.
I knew I couldn’t trust that bastard
When am I supposed to go get my butt fingered? 40 or 50? 🤔
They just make you shit in a box unless there’s a concern these days
Can it be like an Amazon box? I have a few of those
There are blood exams that replace both. There have been for years.
Aww cmon! That was the one good thing I was looking forward to! 😩
My doctor told me I can choose!
Use the thumb
Suppose you could try asking nicely
They made me do it 2 years ago. I’m 42.
What is this referring to? I had my yearly physical, already.
are you 40-45
have you had your:
- prostate examination
- colonoscopy
- thyroid checked TSH T4 T3
- white BC checks (cancer)
- blood pressure screening
- cholesterol screening
- fiber liver scan
- bloodsugar A1C test
- skin cancer screening
no? then you better. by the time you’re in your 50s, having the results of those tests could be the difference between living until you’re 60 or 90.
getting results sets a baseline result of where you should be and makes it easier for your physician to make decisions on your health later.
could be the difference between living until you’re 60 or 90.
Sweet, we get to choose?
I mean, it’s a choice that can be made pretty much any time.
I just do what the physician recommends at my annual physical. Usually, it’s just bloodwork.
Aren’t regular colonoscopies a 50+ thing?
I believe the recommendation has moved to 45 because the increase in colon cancer
I already had a stroke before 45. Doctors ain’t got nothin on me.
Cancer at 42 over here.
You win this round.
Who else do we have here?I had cancer at 40.
Had.
- Never no nothing. When it’s my turn I’ll probably get everything all at once. 😔
I’ve dark souls dodge rolled an entire series of physical and mental maladies from both sides of my family and I’m afraid they’re all going to hit me like a sack of bricks when I turn 40
I went the other day about all the hard lumps in my limbs and they’re just stupid fatty lipomas because I’m never going to be young again.
Serve time, doc?
