NHS old git's health check

No problem at all. They asked me those questions, including the one about Africa. I didn't find it even remotely awkward.

Sub-Saharan Amsterdam?

Did the doc ask you if you were subcontinent, Martin?

I had my 40 plus MOT the other day, a pretty thorough check-up by the practice nurse. She'd done my blood pressure, weight, height and she then told me that she would have to advise against masturbation. Shocked, I asked her why.

i recall a friend of mine, in our 30s, telling me how his employer (one of the water companies) sent him for a medical, which involved the prostate check, all of which he described in rather too graphic detail. i asked him what the verdict was, and he said he was told he needed to lose a couple of stone.

I've had a letter inviting me to undergo one of these next week. I'm assuming it'll be blood pressure, cholesterol, ECG. Anything else I should worry about?
The letter said that it wouldn't involve undressing which was an obvious disappointment. That precludes a prostate exam unless I wear a skirt and no knickers.

just a typical Friday night, then

I turn 50 later this year. Is this check-up something I have to look forward to?

Not at all!
The doctor may be Polish, German - Swiss maybe, or even English - not necessarily Czech.
