State lacks doctors to meet demand of national healthcare law. “Lawmakers [in California] are working on proposals that would enable physician assistants, nurse practitioners, optometrists and pharmacists to diagnose, treat and manage some illnesses.” And you people were worried this awesome plan was gonna fall apart like some federally-funded green energy project.

Don’t even joke about prostrate exams.
My lady is a nurse, and is pushing for me to have one. I tell her if any one is sticking ANYTHING up my butt, they had better plan on buying me dinner and drinks first. And none of that cheap booze, top shelf all the way, and then I MIGHT think about it.

A prostate exam is less of a problem than NOT getting one and ending up with a fistula draining foul smelling drainage through your balls and/or penis. Just saying.

Not So, you might want to see a different doc. I got one of those exams when I was in my 30′s, and it wasn’t a problem. Not what I’d LIKE to be doing, but better than a broken leg.

@oodd, I think if your Lady friend the nurse is so fired up about this, she should give the exam. Forget those clowns on tv always telling you “not to try this at home”, go ahead, she’s a nurse for cryin out loud. All those in favor say AYE…

Actually ghost, she keeps offering. but since she specializes in geriatric care and most specifically in palliative care (that means all her patients are terminal) I think I will pass on her kind offer. She keeps wanting to give me a catheter so I won’t have to get out of bed at 4 A.M. to go to the bathroom too. I tell her getting up to pee is REALLY not a problem for me.

I truly don’t mind seeing an Advance Practice Nurse (nurse practitioners.) THey actually LISTEN to what your issues are, and give reasonable. conservativ treatment, all with an decent explanation of why they are doing what they are doing and the expected outcome, as well as when to check back. Optomiotrists are great at evaluating vision,. and getting glasses made, but have no training in the treatment of medical diseases and conditions of the eye. That’s why they are at you local glasses store. not seeing patients in a private practice. I wouldn’t let a PA near me with a 20 foot pole. The are generally egotistical asses that want the perks of being a Doc with non (or only a fraction) of the work. And a siginificant number are idiots. I jae one moron try to take my temp with an ear thermometer, with halfmy jaor blocking it in the ear canal, and told me I didn’t have a fever. I walked a block down the strees to an ER where my temp registeres 103 and I was diagnosed with dehydration and a vicious UTI. Nope, no PA’s for me!
