The Star Tribune newspaper has a feature story entitled, "How to be a screen queen."
Its primary focus is to remind women of all the screening tests they should have, but they also have a sidebar on men's screening test recommendations.
The problem is that many of the recommendations listed are controversial and are not supported by the
U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. (Even though the paper lists the USPSTF as one of its sources!)
I won't write anything more about this for now because I'm going to submit an op-ed piece to the paper. I'll let you know if it is published.

I thought of you when I saw this piece in the
Strib this morning.
My policy on comments
I'm adopting the policy of a blog I admire: “Comments are great;
obnoxious comments get deleted. Deal.” I also won’t post any comment
from anyone who I consider to be pitching a product, or from anyone
who doesn’t list what appears to be an actual e-mail address.
