I'm afraid I have to add a "me too" here :-)
Our reputation amoung surgeons is often one of "refered without thought"
(I know, been there, done that.)
The Pr findings may be the only information the hospital has on which to
base the priority of the referal.
To be honest I think I'd just be too embarressed about refering without
first examining the prostate :-)
