While it is, like a mammogram, part of preventative health care, the two tests are not at all similar.
It is NOT called a "penogram", and doesn't involve having your winkie squashed between metal plates.
Thank you. Now go get your blood drawn.

If it was just the same, men would NEVER have it done.
You'll get no argument from me.
This is a classic.
after having to have a mammogram i think would rather die of penile cancer than have a penogram.... or a penectomy
Preventative? ;-)
Where did your patient get this ridiculous idea?
Well, I mean, come on...fair is fair, right? ;)
I don't ask. It's better that way.
What's next referring to a Pap smear as a vaginogram? lol...these patients sure are creative!!
Did you tell him where they do the blood draw from for PSA, though???
Now that I have experienced a mammo, I can certainly agree with Kate! What's fair is fair-and painful.
uh, shouldn't that be 'preventive' (JAMA. 1964; 189(9): 700)
Well, Dr. Grumps, FYI, there is an exam where you put and compress your wiener between hard plats, incredibly using the same mammogram machine. It´s the penis radiography, used to detect calcified plaques of Peyronie´s disease. Not kidding.
Good grief! How do you not start snickering when your patients come up with this stuff?
On the upside, compared to what he was imagining the test should be no problem.
Owww. Although I have had a few customers who I'd like to see get the winkie press. Big time.
"But first, I need to finish your neurological exam. Stick your head between the metal plates, please."
Well, I would like to know what treatment that is where your oppenus is pressed between plates-because I had it done to me. Doc said it was proof I had the Commie ghonnarear when all that red gooo shot out the end.
It cost $360, too.
penography is done in the tattoo parlor
It's just amazing what people want to stick in the waffle iron.
Just. ya know. Saying.
Could be worse. Imagine if there was screening for testicular cancer than involved squishing the testes between metal plates?
Maybe he'd heard about the manogram? http://www.1funny.com/manogram.shtml
Don't laugh. There is a delightful test called a corpora cavernosogram, wherein dye is injected directly into the member in question...

Ouchy wa waaaaHHH!!!!
Yikes.
Though if I may grumble, neither the mammogram nor the PSA is either preventive or preventative ... each (may) allow for early treatment; neither prevents anything. As there's some question about the circumstances under which each is useful, I'm prepared to claim my quibble is more than semantics.
Though, in fairness, I realize as a neurologist you may not need to focus to closely on either debate (who can benefit from PSA or mammogram).

Ouch! Just thinking about that brings tears to my eyes.

Mwahaha! No, I don't think this would be comfortable...
You missed a real opportunity to really shrivel his winkie by just leading him on a little with his bizarre notions!
(I suspect that most cruel dudes probably have a wicked sense of humor too)
My new favorite word is penogram.
