Interesting view on having PSA test
We all have different experiences. Sheryl knows my history: mild BPH with elevated but steady PSA (6) for many years. PSA then rose to 14 and an MRI at Bumrungrad indicated 2 'lumps' that the doctor considered highly likely to be PC. I returned to the UK for a biopsy and the skilled prostate doctor looked at the MRI scans from Bunrungrad and said that he wasn't so sure that it was PC. Had a 24-neddle biopsy under local anaesthetic, including targeted at the lumps and no PC found - they were benign calcium stones, and my high PSA was exacerbated by UTI/prostatitis etc. The doctor did tell me that most of the prostate biopsies that he performs find no cancer, which is good news for those worried by an elevated PSA. I'm not a doctor (well, I do practice surgery on my sex doll..), but an elevated but steady PSA could be caused by UTIs, calcium stones in your prostate etc, whereas a slowly rising PSA that keeps going up is worthy of urgent investigation. Whatever, but with a raised PSA, I certainly can't see any reason for not having a biopsy (after MRI investigation), UTI checks etc, unless you are at an advanced age where the chances of PC killing you is less than you dying of old age... than -

Why are proctologists mostly male? And, what's the allure of becoming one?
Perfectly predictable provided the position of most patients. -

My Thai Tax Office Tax Filing Experience...
Foreigner guy asks what to do if we get conflicting statements from TRD office, if you know you owe tax and need to file, but TRD staff send you away. Answer -- basically, learn Thai. Translator says "sensative question... hahahah ..(nervous laughter)" to which foreigner guy gives him an out by offering stupid foreigners can't speak Thai. @NoDisplayName & @KhunHeineken Yes, I felt the same way about this webinar, TRD Q&A. Blaming the various interpretations/responses given by different TRD officers/offices reported by many foreigners "on language difficulties" is completely wrong, (in my experience). Every inquiry I have made to TRD, by phone or in person within Sathorn district (there are several offices) have received varying replies, and have been made by a Thai person in Thai. Language has nothing to do with it. A complete lack of clarity from TRD management is to blame. Of course it's a "sensitive subject", because it exposes the incompetence of this exercise, the norm for Thai bureaucracy. For me the issue is submitting bank statements of my accounts in another country, where the transactions, (ATM withdrawals, debit card usage, QR debits and pensions and dividends all take place). I have prepared an Excel reconciliation sheet, but it would be difficult to follow if the checker here is not familiar with a composite multicurrency bank statement, and when for example my UK State Pension is paid into my UK account and partially transferred to my foreign multicurrency account in GBP, and then converted to HKD or THB depending on my required usage. But if it's paper they want, however meaningless to them, they can have it. My only fear is giving all this information, like name & account numbers and data protection being flouted, as it routinely is by government agencies.
