    I learned this random factoid a while back while looking into some medical claims with UHC from an insurance contract manager as a random example of how the industry sucks. Apparently ultrasounds can be used in place of mammograms for women so they don’t have to have a titsquish and are just as effective at detecting cancer. Unfortunately, insurance only pays for the titsquish.

      I had my prostate imaged with an ultrasound while traveling abroad. I went for a full medical check, and I was fully preparing myself for my first butthole-fingering. When they did the ultrasound I was like “holy shit has that been an option all along??”
