Dre - Prostate Exam Posted: 12-27-03 05:05am
Several years ago, as part of a pre-op
exam, the doc (general surgeon)did a dre
on me. He put his finger in to about the
first knuckle, twisted it slightly, pulled
it out saying: "your prostate's ok." I
don't think he even touched my prostate.
I have read that the prostate should be
carefully checked for symetry, bumps or
growths, a center groove, etc, and that
all areas be examined. How does a med
student demonstrate that he or she can do
a proper prostate exam in order to be
cretified/licensed?
