I highly recommend reviewing Dr. Kenny Lin's blog post on "Common Sense Family Doctor" regarding PSA testing, http://commonsensemd.blogspot.com/2011/02/psa-testing-will-science-finally-trump.html
It reviews not only Dr. Lin's experience in helping write the guidelines but the political pressure to "trump" science.
Hopefully, now, the evidence on the non-utility of PSA testing is clear -- but read his piece for the details.
Its good to have family doctor. He will always suggest u good. If u go to another doctor then Yyou are only a client for him.. But if you have a good family doctor then he will be treat you and your family as as a friend..
