Did I get my money's worth?
I just had my first physical ever. I am 45 yr old male .My doctor did an EKG, Chest x-ray, drew 3 vials of blood, and gave me a tetnus shot, As fa as the exam, he looked in my ears my throat, listenend to my chest, felt around my stomach, and checked me for a hernia and that was it, Also gave urrine sample. Was that considered a complete physical or was I shorted?
Seems like you did well on your physical. I take it, that he did make you cough while holding your balls. This was to check for hernia. Your blood tests probably showed that there was no need for him to do a prostrate exam. This will happen when you are over 50.
No never and I told my doctor that my brother had his prostate removed because of cancer at age 53.
