Yeah, because I'm so scared of having a finger shoved up my ass that I'm going to pay several times as much to have it imaged instead.

This brings up a good point... I'm surprised that so many people are scared of anything going in or near their asshole...

If your doc is the first person to have a finger in your butt, you've not lived your life very well.

No, Obama's going to pay for it... and now you know why Republicans were so against the national healthcare bill.

... you guys realize diagnostic imaging of the prostate is pretty much ultrasound which involves sticking something up your anus anyway. There is no win.

Did someone seriously just draw out a webcomic on paper just to repost it???

[–]Gregophocles 16 points17 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nope, this was actually an original comic made by a Redditor. If I remember correctly, he posted a whole imgur album of his stuff in the comments of his Reddit post of this comic when it originally made the front page.

Actually now-a-days you can do a virtual colonoscopy. Essentially if you know technology like MRI, etc. those can be used to recreate the bowels into a rendering that you can examine fly through by hitting ~ and trying clip=off

This is called a "digital rectal exam," which is odd because it's hard to think of something more analog.

It's 2012 already but I will still stick my finger in.

[–]diodeforjustice 0 points1 point ago

It is commonly stated that medicine is both a science and an art. MRI machines, X-rays, DNA testing, and the sort are all part of the "science" aspect. The "art" portion has to do with with feeling. Often times this feeling is done by putting your finger up somebody's anus.

[–]coldfu 1 point2 points ago

Let's hope we'd be able to quickly eliminate the art in the next century.

There's virtual prostate exams, they just cost a lot more and have no greater diagnostic utility.

It turns out, sometimes a doctor doesn't need a machine, and the machine is just a waste of resources. My old med policy professor would complain frequently about people coming in with sinus infections demanding CAT scans and MRIs to confirm what he diagnosed on his own.

[–]coldfu -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Your professor is not a god. He can't see everything. The more machines he has that could augment his diagnostic abilities the better.

Sadly a lot of old people are pretty conservative.

[–]Bezulba 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

no it's not. It's impracticable to have a machine that costs thousands of dollars to operate do something that a qualified doctor can do, himself, in minutes. It would take forever to have any diagnosis and it will cost 10 times as much. And machine's aren't that great either, you still need to visually identify whatever is wrong with the patient, it doesn't spit out automatically what's wrong with you in a nice printout

[–]coldfu -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

A qualified doctor also costs thousands of dollars if not more. And he isn't as consistent in his ability to diagnose as a machine is. Cost and time goes down like with every other technology.

[–]CryptoPunk 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

An MRI machine requires thousands of dollars and fucking cryogenic temperatures just to run, at least 2 people just to operate it not to mention adjustments, still requires a doctor to diagnose the issue afterwards, and you want to use it for a fucking headcold?

[–]BolshevikMuppet 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The more machines he has that could augment his diagnostic abilities the better.

The more machines that are available, yes. The more he uses, not necessarily.

It doesn't take being a god to diagnose a sinus infection without an MRI, and the cost (both monetary and time) of the MRI isn't worth its added diagnostic benefit of simply confirming what the doctor already knew.

Same thing with prostate exams. Turns out the finger works just fine.

[–]Fanta-Taco 0 points1 point ago

That's because most doctors enjoy it.

I give myself "prostate exams" for fun.

[–]Damodaru 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's not really an apt comparison. X-Rays, MRI's etc are basically the most efficient way to check for things within a person's body. A finger up the butthole is like the MRI of prostate examination. It's an efficient, simple method that works.

Repost and original from C and H cartoon strips. At least give some credit to the original if your gonna copy it.

Non-invasive test.

Since you'll probably die with prostate cancer (note — not from prostate cancer), testing is pretty much a waste of time and only tempts you to have surgery you'll in all probability regret.

MY Dad was about to die from prostate cancer and the operation saved his life...

[–]bgausden 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's great he was diagnosed and treated. I hope he's now in good health.

It's less great that so many men are having surgeries where they don't really understand the risks and where the surgeries are frequently unnecessary.

[–]kochipoik 1 point2 points ago

Woa that's cool, it'd be awesome if that test was more specific for malignant/aggressive prostate cancers.

[–]packattack 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Have an upvote for getting the facts right. Most prostate cancer is quite indolent and it is only necessary to treat symptomatically (much like BPH). However, there really isn't a good way (yet) to tell if a cancer is aggressive or benign.

The DRE is really the most-cost effective screening out there.

Oh I never thought about it before but that's probably but that's probably where Dr. Dre got his stage name: Dr. Digital Rectal Exam.
