I wouldn’t do that—they might be trained to go into a different mode if patient threatens to harm self.

If I were a man I would probably get the prostrate exam. It’s not that different than what some doctors do to women during pelvic exams(you guys thought we got out of it, didnt you?)

But then my grandfather was rumored to have had prostrate cancer. I hate when family members are vague about this stuff, but in the old days there was a stigma associated with cancer.

There wasn't much more they could do. I already spend time in their psychiatric branch, after my training in Neuropsychology.

My wife also refuses pap smears and colonoscopies. This is her own decision -- I didn't influence her.
