    Since I turned 50 the doctors I have visited have become obsessed (or
    so it seems to me) with DREs (digital rectal examinations).

    Haha, I haven't been approached for one of those yet by the doc. And yes, I am over 50.

    A lot of doctors advise to get a colonoscopy every 5 years once you turn 50, only issue is they are not always free. Doing the bowel cancer test is also advisable.

       Ahhh! I see. Well, my daughter has made it abundantly clear, that she will *never* perform a rectal exam on me. And I concur. If I should encounter some prostate problems, we both agree that she will *not* be involved.

    In this country doctors/surgeons are not allowed to work on their family.
