| Real hair wigs |
Human's hair grows up everyday so that most of people cut their hair at least once a year. Cut hair was threw away as waste, although hair has more value than it is. Some people unexpected to lose their hair because they ran into cancer. In fact, cancer isn't cause of making hair fall but patient's hair start falling after people got
chemotherapy which is the treatment of cancer. Chemotherapy is act as killing cancer cell but it kill healty cell either. To illastrate, you want to get rig of weeds in your garden then you use herbicide, it will destroy not only unwanted plants but also your needed gress. These are same. How do you feel if you wake up in the morning and see that lot of your hair fell around on your pillow? For me, I might be shock, lose confidence and don't want to go out anywhere. However, one way to help cancer patients who lost their hair is using wigs. Although, there are many meterials thoes use to making wigs but the best choice is real hair wig which is very expensive so that some group of long hair women design to grow their hair to donated for one whe need. I think, this is a very nice idea, is it better if someone who is healthy can help the others?

Once a year!
ReplyDeleteI cut my hair at least once a week. But I have to go bed now. In fact, I should have gone to bed at least half an hour ago.
I'll write a bit more for my daily comments quota tomorrow.
Saturdays are not my favourite.
DeleteI'm already having my morning drug hit before I go to teach my 8:00 AM class. It's a great class; I just wish it wasn't at 8:00 AM.
lol, I think, women who like their long hair would not cut their hair often. But for men is except. =]
ReplyDeleteso, good night Peter
What's nice idea! I wonder that how many women can wait up to 18 months in order to donate their hair! I actually want to grow my hair as long as I want, but I can't do because my hair is not very healthy and split end.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I think the fake or artificial hair may be a better choice. T think there are not many women have thick and healthy long hair much enough to be cut for making wigs.
My hair is not healthy, too. But i see many people havt healthy thick long hair, yet they might not want to cut it.
DeleteWhen I read Som's informative and thoughtful blog, I was reminded of my aunt, who died of liver cancer 15 years ago.
ReplyDeleteActually, I still get angry at the foolish and cruel doctors who treated her at the time. They knew, like everyone, that her cancer was incurable. They also knew that the therapy they gave would make the end of her life much worse than it need be, but they still did it!
Doctors are very knowledgeable, but they also make a lot of mistakes and bad decisions, and the things that they do are often not very well supported by scientific studies. The retraction rate for research published in medicine is very high - almost 50%, compared to less then 5% for physicists, who are much more rigorous and set much higher standards than medical doctors before saying they "know" something.
Another good thing about physicists is that they don't think their expert knowledge of physics makes them experts on politics or social policy. Sadly, doctors often think they can tell politicians and citizens how society should, for example, respond to the growing problem of obesity or what should be done about cigarette smoking.
I agree with you. Your comment reflect me about my friend who lost his dad around 5 years ago. His dad was biten by a poison snake one. Unfortunately, when he arrived, a doctor didn't inject antivenom him, even his relative'd asked the doctor. I's surprised about this because it's a common thing especially physicians should do.
DeletePossibly thai law may not very strict about those physicians treat or cure patients improperly, comparing to law of many developed nations like the US.
I was worked in related field with medicine. So I don't agree with you. I don't mean to protect their false decision. But sometime in tough time, the doctor have to choose the best therapy that they can do to heal or relieve the patient's pain that is very hard decision. Our ethic is helping, saving and healing the patient against diseases, though sometime we lose. But I hope you to know that we try our best, so please forgive them the mistake.
DeleteIn some cases that I treated, the results was fail and they died. I confessed that I cried and disappointed myself. And keep to my lesson to make it better for the next case.
I like this article. It makes me realize how useful long hair is. ^^
ReplyDeleteI always lost hair when I studied high school. It make me angry every time I cut my hair. I always wonder that whose idea that to force every boy children to cur their hair shortly is a good idea. It make us lose self confidence and every time I cut my hair the grow up always smile like it is the thing that make them happy.
