As I write this, I'm stuck awaiting a PCR test for a cough that has come about suddenly. I'm sure it's not Covid but got to make sure, the numerous lateral flows are all negative. It does mean that I'm away from any family this Xmas as PCR test results are taking the maximum 72 hours to come back; previously it was no more than 24 hours. Must be a combination of the extra testing this time of year, the increase cases due to Omicron and possibly less people working in the labs this holiday season. Omicron cases hit over 120,000 cases a day which is mind-blowing, no doubt some form of lock down will happen post-xmas. 

Prostate - a gland surrounding the neck of the bladder in male mammals and releasing a fluid component of semen. Prost r ate - lying stretched out on the ground with one's face downwards. Men's prostates inevitably get bigger as they older and inevitably most men would probably need their prostate's checked. I got one such man in my clinic. He had somewhat managed to avoid anything like that until he got to 90, but time finally caught up with him.
