    Check out a PAE. No caths, very short recovery time and only an MRI to peek on the inside. Can only be done by an interventional radiologist, so urologists will never discuss it. No performance issues and retrograde is not a side effect
  2. RIP to one of the last great movie stars, and a hell of an actor.

    Talk to your PCP then about Avodart to shrink your prostate. Another thing urologists won’t deal with.

    Urologists will never recommend PAE because they can’t do it. It’s done by an interventional radiologist only. HoLep was my second choice.

    I researched for several months and decided on PAE based on several factors: No cath necessary, quick recovery time(although the first week was painful) and very few reported side effects( I had none). The other option I looked at extensively was Urolift but I was not a candidate due to the size of my prostate( in excess of 80 ml) which is the recommended max. I ruled out TURP because anecdotally it went poorly for my father and a friend of mine. I was on Tamsulosin(Flomax) for 5 years before it finally stopped working. It should be your first choice and possibly Avodart before any procedure.

    I had a PAE for my BPH. I would look into that.
  11. Fish Shop in Pacific Heights— fantastic tacos
  12. Never much of a fan but I saw both parts of the documentary and it was excellent and pulled no punches. He has a lot of personal family traumas he’s still working through

    Ozzy has passed.

    First concert—Sabbath in 1975. RIP
  14. Excellent documentary on the making of the movie on Nat Geo. Saw it when it came out in a packed theater and I remember everyone going crazy when Ben Gardner’s head popped up.
