Man's life saved by home pregnancy test
« on: November 07, 2012, 11:16:08 pm »
Heard about this on the radio this morning and then googled it tonight.  Seems he took the home pregnancy test as a joke, but then it came up positive.  As it turns out, the hormone produced in a woman by a developing placenta is also produced in a male with testicular cancer.  Fortunately for him, by doing this test as a joke, they caught the cancer in an early stage and it may have saved his life. 

Another amazing discovery made by accident.

Wait... what?  Man, the chances of that happening by accident are, well, astronomical.

I wonder how reliable that particular method happens to be? I have to say, taking a piss on a pregnancy test is far preferable to having a doctor fondle my man berries.

It's similar to an actual piss test they give men now. I imagine it's a lot cheaper to use a pregnancy test.

I can't begin to tell you what the actual one for testicular cancer is called, tho. Nor how accurate the pregnancy test is.
