Have you heard the nickname “Dr. Butthole”? Well, it belongs to Dr. Evan Goldstein, a health expert who is turning heads—and maybe a few stomachs—with his advocacy for a sensitive topic: anal pap smears and full anoscopies. While these screenings may stir up giggles and nervousness, they might just save your life by catching silent diseases before they escalate. It’s high time we drop the awkwardness and start talking about health screenings that really matter!
Dr. Goldstein emphasizes that early detection is key. He’s all about making these conversations as routine as a dental check-up. You wouldn’t skip your annual cleanings, so why skip out on screenings that could prevent serious health issues? With his humorous approach, Goldstein not only makes a valid case for why we should be screening but also brings levity to a subject most folks would rather avoid.
So let’s face it: discussing your health doesn’t have to be a cringe-worthy experience. Next time you think about skipping that appointment, remember what Dr. Butthole has to say about taking care of your health. It might just be the best decision you make—unless you’d rather deal with surprises later on. What’s your take on these screenings? Are they a must-do, or could they be better marketed?
