If you have brain surgery do they need to shave your whole head, can you refuse?

You can tell the surgeon to do whatever you want.

Your hair, your decision.

If the surgeon disagrees, then tell him/her/ or trans/ lezzer etc... to go to hell.

For something like that you have to do what their procedures say needs to be done.

Surely you are a miserable troll as no one would choose their hair over their life or even worry about the hair..Thank god your other post prove me right a rotten troll with an attitude that YOU make all the decisions in life and not the Professionals around you.

It depends on the type of surgery. Doctors remove whatever is needed based on what type and size on incision is required. Hair can cause infection, so as a patient, your choices are to allow the surgeon to shave whatever they feel is necessary or to not have the surgery. A surgeon will not compromise their standards or change their procedures because you don't want to lose some hair.

Hair on a healthy person grows about 1/2 per month.

Would you really want HALF of your hair shaved?

Besides FOCUS on what is important, your health or your looks

IF you need brain surgery, it would seem ego Is not the issue, but HEALTH would be. HAIR grows back - LIFE DOESN'T

No. They just shave the necessary area and surrounding area. Can you refuse? No you can't. It's for hygiene purposes. Your hair is always dirty and full of bacteria. The last thing they want is that bacteria getting on your brain because some hair fell into direct contact with your brain.

Just suck it up buttercup and deal with it. Or don't get your brain surgery.

THEY determine what hair needs to be out of the way . . . . if you object: no surgery.

Adult hair grows at an average of 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch per month.
