Their rallying cry has been “Don’t fear the finger.”

Advocates of prostate health continue to promote the dreaded, but necessary, prostate exam.

The doctors at Urology of Central PA want men to be as diligent with that test as women generally are about breast cancer exams.

Vasectomies Are Easy, Affordable Option For Birth Control

By Dr. Frank D’Amico

The pill. The patch. The sponge. The ring. The tube-tying.

Most contraceptive choices revolve around women. This approach to pregnancy prevention is reflected in a recent Harris poll, in which nearly three out of four women said men cannot be counted on to choose a birth control method. Men agreed in almost equal numbers.

But while male birth control drugs are still a prescription for the future, men do have a surgical option to prevent pregnancy. Proponents laud vasectomies as affordable, painless and 99.9 percent effective.

“I just received a CAT scan and I wanted to call and put in a good word for Stephanie (CT Tech). She did a real nice job. She is very talented & professional but also added the human element with a good bedside manner. It was a very pleasant experience for getting an IV and going through the machine. I could sense that she has a very blessed way of making people feel at ease. Thank you - it was one of the most comfortable procedures that have had in a long time and I have had a number of these over the years. I just want to give her a well-deserved pat on the back. You guys are doing a good job. Thank you- I think the work that you do, support people like me, because if we find things that need to be looked at further -it could mean saving a lot of lives- thank you very much. It's pleasure working with you - keep up the really good work …” -WL

“Thank you for the help and care you’ve given me since becoming your patient. I worked for a wonderful orthopedic surgeon who often cared for patients two other surgeons did not do the best job with. I wrote that so you’d understand how difficult it can be for me to trust physicians. That said, your competence and caring made it easy to trust you and I really appreciate being your patient. Doctors like you are increasingly rare.” With gratitude, JDR

"I just want you to give Dr. Boline some praise for me. I had my mom there for an appointment. He is so very nice and kind and I love the way he speaks directly to my mother. She is 85 and some doctors have a tendency to ignore her and talk to me. I know that often you only hear complaints, and that is part of my job, to listen to them. I just wanted him to know how great my mom thinks he is and I do too!!!!" -AH
