Neurosurgeons r good at one thing, fixing things that go wrong with the brain and spinal cord. Yet, neither they; nor their team of assistants; make very good hair stylists/barbers. If I had them available, I'd show proof. But trust me on this. Neurosurgeons don't go to school for 15 yrs so that they can trim someones hair. They have other *important stuff* on their minds.
In the past, I had *extremely* funky hair after going into the operating room. They would shave the right portion of my head and then leave the rest... and when I was young I had longer hair (and more of it to boot). So I looked like a dork when I got out of the hospital. All that shaving of only the section they needed drove me nuts.
So, before I ever go into surgery that deals with my head, I make sure *the nite before* that my head is shaved. That way, the neurosurgeon only has to apply the betadine, slice along the suture line that has been there since I was one month old and voila, he's *IN*.
Beauticians, hair stylists, barbers... whatever u want to call them; have an important job. I just don't happen to need them any more since 1) I keep what is left of my hair short, 2) they get kinda squeamish around my scar, so I don't want them near it...
So I guess what I am trying to say is: Hair=hair stylist/beautician/barber. Brain=neurosurgeon. Try not to give the wrong person the job or u might be *sorry*.
