A patient such as myself receives a PSA test, which is a blood test that can determine whether one has a cancerous tumour. There are circumstances, to which I will return, where such tests are necessary. I had a very severe reaction to an investigation that went wrong, as a result of which I nearly died as I contracted septicaemia. This is unnecessary and I can explain to the House how it can be avoided and why male patients should request plenty of antibiotics before they undergo such examinations.
