Always get copies of your reports!!

[Guest guest]

Just thought I’d share this with you as a

warning for those of you who haven’t learned yet to get hold of copies of

all reports and make sure you understand them.

A man mailed on behalf of a friend whose PSA had rocketed

up to 131 from a normal level between annual inspections. I made various

suggestions, one of which was to ask if he had actually seen the report. Turned

out he hadn’t - his number was 1.31 not 131.0. The nurse had read it

wrong over the phone. That decimal point is pretty important.

All the best
