No, It's not Friday and this is a genuine enquiry. A friend tells me he paid money to attend a "Men's health seminar" at the end of which all the participants were given a small ball. They were told to pass urine directly onto it and if it changed colour, then your PSA was "abnormal". Has anyone else heard of this, or do I assume he overindulged in the liquid refreshment at lunchtime?
But then again - PSA for fidelity testing is now available. See http://labsoftnews.typepad.com/lab_soft_news/test_kits_and_home_testing/index.html
