Prostate Exam
Prostate exams are not that difficult to get
through ... provided you've been blowing guys in the men's locker room three
times a week. For the remainder of the us men, the back door is a one
way street. Sure a colonoscopy is more involved but you are not awake
during it - although if you wake up during a colonoscopy like I did and tell
the Doctor that - "The money's on the dresser Chocolate" - it can be
awkward.
If a colonoscopy commitment equates to a
"weekend sexual romp", then the prostate exam would be the equivalent of the
"quickie" - you get in, you get out.
How's this for a conversation with your
Doctor:
Doctor - "Well your
lungs, heart and glands all appear normal, the Nurse will be in a few
minutes for the blood work, you want the prostate exam?"
Me - "Sure, you want me
to push back a little during the exam and make it better for you?"
Doctor - "Don't make me
laugh while I do the exam."
Me -
"Why? Does it remind you of summer camp when you were 14?"
So he perfoms the exam which takes about 8
seconds and it is pretty much what you expect as it feels like some guy has
a couple fingers up your ass looking for spare change. So when he was
done, he pulls his fingers out of my bobo, takes off his plastic glove and
throws it in the trash can - but then he stood over me for just a second
longer than I thought was necessary ... so ...
Me - "Are we done ...
or are we doing round 2 bareback?"
He hands me a box of Kleenex and says -
"Clean yourself up and I will be back in a minute."
Me - "You going to
smoke a cigarette?"
The Doctor leaves and I think ...
"Clean myself up? ... WTF????"
