Looks like cxbladder might be stuck between a rock and a hard place,for now, as GP's can only recommend patience to specialist and if it is in the specialist best interest to keep status quo they probably will.

If a competitive advantage is there and well publicised to the general public and those patience whose well being depends on accurate treatment then the patient will impose their own pressure upon GP'S to use whatever will give them the best chance. What's stopping a specialist from doing preliminary tests with cxbladder and then more evasive tests afterwards for a "second opinion" If approached right it actually gives specialists another revenue stream.
I am sure it has been taken into consideration along with all the other facets of their marketing program.
Its all about awareness and once it gets out to the patients themselves then urologists will have an uphill battle to convince them that their invasive, more expensive and not necessarily as accurate method is the way to go.
Hancocks was on the right track with his getting the word to Inspire about cxbladder.
Agree it will be tough to get some of the old diehards to change - that equates to the 10% uptake overall which will probably come from clued up, progressive younger medical professionals who will pick this ball up and run with it until it is superceded by something else- perhaps produced by PEB

If you have a spare couple of days perhaps you should read this thread started by Hancocks. It has priceless information on it that has been covered over and over and in depth and is one of the most commented on and thorough pieces of guidance to assist you in making your mind up. If you remain unconvinced after all that then that is your choice. If you read it all I think you will find the pressure on your finger will be unbearable.:)
Words getting out! Went for an overall checkup this a.m. and the doctor asked me for a urine sample. I asked him " is this a cxbladder test? He said no , but I know what you are talking about.":)
