Buna’s Health Tip #1

You have to understand that a lot of the decisions made by Governments and its Agencies are made with money in mind $$$$$!!!!. It is true that prostate cancer is pretty uncommon between 40 and 50 (tell Robbie Flower that!!) and it is costly exercise to pick up those few. The Government are prepared to lose a few in order to save some health dollars which they will say can be best spent elsewhere. But what if you were in those few!!! And yes, you may have some false positives which will be stressful for those affected and they may be put through unnecessary procedures such as biopsies.

But!!!!…. it at least gets males coming to the doctors for a check up which will include things other than prostate cancer such as Blood pressure , cholesterol etc because I would not pass up the opportunity to assess these areas as well.

Let’s all get checked YEARLY from 40 onwards – leave it up to the GP to decide what needs to be done… not medical bureaucrats! By the way, I am off to my GP this week for a check up – even doctors need to be checked!!!
