Your SIL gets a prostate exam?

I've been going to my Urologist once a year for a very long time...
Dr. Linda is very gentle and has long slender fingers... some male
doctors have fingers like kielbasas and have no finesse. My primary
care doc includes a PSA in my yearly blood work up. So far no
problems. Women need regular exams at their GYNs too and Mammograms
also. It always amazes me how many never see a doctor until it's too
late.
