Anyone know if doctors can DIY their own prostate exam? Obviously if they

As someone who has performed rectal examinations, I would say no.
Unless you've got the arms of a gibbon and extraordinary
flexibility, you're not going to be able to do an adequate
physical examination.

Definitely a job to "outsource".


If you are so squeamish why become a doctor. (assuming that's what you
were and not a sex worker.)
