Absolutely. I had a big scare last year with a false positive reading for the PSA test, but if, as it does for many, a finger scares the crap out of you, the PSA is still a pretty reliable indicator, especially once you have had a couple and trends can be monitored. In short, it is way way way better than doing nothing

This is the fever they are more likely to enjoy the finger than be scared of it.

Ignoring the bit about liking it or not, it is a reminder that it is very important to get that yearly check up!

I'm an optimistic pessimist. 
I'm positive things will go wrong.
