      When the "Free PSA Test" first came out arond 1996 my local hospital did not get funding for it. The local BUPA wanted £110 (as only consultants draw blood here) plus the lab costs.

      I found  a Lab who did the blood work for £25 and asked my GP to take my blood and send it off at my expense. You know more about the prostate than I do he said. When the results came back I had to interpret them for him.
