Where I really did back a loser was in my choice of GP(s) who did not bother to tick the PSA box on my annual blood tests from 2010 to 2017.
I have become evangelical about it now, asking all my 50+ friends “What’s your PSA level?”. More often than not they come back with: “What’s that?”. I just say, “Next time you are at the doctor’s, ask for a PSA test to establish a base line.”
One particularly stubborn pal in his late fifties at my table in the pub went to the loo about three times after three pints, whereas I remained sedentary after five or six. “A bit of prostate trouble, there Phil? Get your PSA checked!”
“I don’t go to the doctor”. Shame, because he seems to be a self-made millionaire with Ferraris and Bentleys and an account at Coutts & Co, but might lot live that long to enjoy it.......
Another local pub held a PSA testing night, with volunteer nurses taking blood samples in return for a voluntary contribution to this charity. They gave out a little credit card sized folded leaflet regarding PCa. I picked one up for Phil. Don’t know what he’s done about it...
You can lead a horse to water........
