Here's the "rest of the story". The Dr. has thier finger pressing up into your 
scrotum (if you are so equipped) feeling for a hernia. Turning the head and coughing puts the most pressure on the abodomen wall, I think. Maybe they have you turn your hear so you don't see them smirking.
And yes, I have had hernias so I don't mind the test so much.

I'll grant you, not exactly dinner converstion. But these exams are necessary, even though they are a pain in the, well, you know. And with advancing age it's better to make sure you don't have an enlarged prostate and a shrinking, well, I forget. The snap of the rubber glove
can sure ruin a day.

You got it, extra Vitamin C, lots of juices and water and rest. I think I am on the mend, but it hate to say that for fear the germs will hear and stage a comeback.

You can tell you're getting older when you find yourself chatting to people
about your prostate examination. In the UK they are free, but you have no say over the size of the finger. Now I can never hear the sound of rubber gloves snapping without my muscles tensing...
