Once when I was in my early twenties, I went to a doctor, and since I had heard about people suggesting this “prostate exam” thing, I thought it would be a good idea to ask for one.
Well the doctor apparently thought I was too young to ask for a prostate exam, and so decided to go in hard and fast and without lube, presumably to “teach me a lesson.”
Well, lesson learned. I might never get a prostate exam again, and if I die in a few decades of undetected prostate cancer, it will be that doctor’s fault. But that likely won’t be recorded on any of the paperwork. Because why would it.
Not sure what the moral of the story is, but uh, maybe don’t suggest young men get theirs checked, because if their experience is anything like mine then they might never get it checked again.
