We’re not having an election anytime soon. We don’t govern by polls. It’s called a parliamentary democracy. We elect representatives (MPs) every 5 yrs. get over it

If you’re worried about Prostate Cancer, and you’re a man, get your PSA checked. It’s a simple blood test. It will tell you your risk, then you can decide with your doctor, what to do next.

I didn’t spend a lifetime as a doctor to sign away someone’s life. There are too many risks. I will be one of those agreeing to do this
