Missing Opportunity

Limiting prostate considerations to a balance point between
PSA scores, surgical issues and not spoken obvious clinical
boredom entirely steps away from pro-active needs men have
for the enviroment and regional issues that participate in
prostate distress. Waiting for disease to register, giving
men statistical numbers with which to consider their
perceived alternatives simply ignores so much of the subject
and real need that it's hard to know what to call medicine
that simply is interested in a military focus. Development
of skills needs a bigger picture to work in.
