- promoting a clearer understanding of men's experience -
I’m seeing the odd news flash on this but nothing substantial.
It appears to be only in the trial stage but hey, having a spit in a jar has got to be less stressful than the fear of a hand on each shoulder … let’s pray for sucess on this one.

NZ teacher Peter Joyce’s settled life was disrupted when a woman he had never met accused him of historic rape. With a unique brand of angry humour, his diary plots the stages of his despair and traces his attempts to find justice in the face of the current insistence that we must “believe the victim”.
Dry Ice is a compelling memoir, but much more. The accusation made the writer a reluctant expert on similar cases from all over the world. He throws light on everything that limits public knowledge of false sexual allegations, from dangerous counselling to flawed statistics, and he exposes police investigation methods as blinkered, inefficient and insensitive.

A hand on each shoulder???
I think you should be considering making a complaint to the Medical Council to about your doctor.
His DRE (Digital Rectal Examination) technique is unorthodox to say the least.

Out in the workforce there are a few Dr jokes you may not be familiar with, John.
As such,
We’re ok with the DRE as long as we don’t feel a hand on each shoulder.
Would you mind taking my blood pressure after and not before.
But just to clear up any misconceptions, I wasn’t sharing any untoward personal experiences.

Thanks.
It’s looking to identify risk by genetic probability.
While at the same time PSA blood test (from my understanding) is being found more unreliable as more causes of it’s presence are found.
