Yeah, those TV ads with the 4 gray-haired guys enjoying their time on the golf course or cruising about in the convertible until one of them has to make a beeline for a bathroom, that is until they consult their urologist and get a prescription for Proscar. (Do you think FAs should be trained to do DREs* so they can separate those with true BPH from the fakers, and maybe detected the occasional nodule?
Think the famous bathroom scene with the impromptu gynecologic exam from that 60's classic,
