Could we also stop acting like our girlfriend being a doctor makes us qualified to give medical advice? What evidence in particular, aside from your girlfriend, do you have for the claim that the groin exam for inguinal hernias is outdated? Is this subject in your girlfriend's field? What publications does she cite?

Here's what she pointed me to: http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/Page/Topic/recommendation-summary/testicular-cancer-screening http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/Page/Topic/reco...

  Is that a joke? "Turn your head and cough" isn't a testicular cancer screening. It's to search for signs of inguinal hernias. You don't really have a doctor girlfriend, do you? :)

    You are correct, I believe they also feel for any lumps or irregular growth of the testes.
