And I'm now prehired with csrt I don't want to go for orientation and fail. my jewls seem fine to me ..but I'm not a doctor I'm not dumb either. What do u suggest?

    You'll most likely get another physical. The reason being is the companies like to CYA (COVER YOUR ARSE or YOU'LL CALL YOUR ATTORNEY).

    If you don't want or need a prostate examination just tell the doctor No. If the doc says it required then tell the doc you are doing a colon cleansing program or you are taking laxatives and your last dose was a few hours ago. There are not too many doctors that haven't been hit in face with the Hershey Squirts. As an alternative, they will most likely do a Prostate Surface Antigen (PSA) test which is simply done by drawing a tube of blood.
