While we are talking about men's health issues;

If you haven't been keeping up with health news, it's been discovered that the PSA exam is a bunch of nonsense. It's accuracy rating is ridiculously low, to the point of being useless. It should also be noted that Some prostate cancers are so slow-growing that removal is unnecessary. Prostate surgery can result in incontinence and other damage, so get a second opinion. Don't let anyone talk you into surgery based on the PSA results.

Perfect; I'm sorry to hear about your dad's troubles. It's a reminder that we all have to be skeptical about every treatment, or lack thereof.

The info you've given everyone about Alzheimer's versus vascular disease is truly valuable.

Please provide a link to the USNews & World report rankings.
