I had my hair cut yesterday. A bit shorter than what I had in mind, but it still looks the same I guess. At the end of the hair cutting session, the barberess (it was a female barber), gave me the comb she used to cut my hair with, wrapped in a nice plastic bag, like some memento for cutting my hair there. But of all things why the comb? Was she hoping I'd come back, "Hey, remember this comb, can you use it to cut my hair again?" What if other professionals started doing the same thing? Tailors give their customers the needle they used to sow their clothes, chefs give their patrons the wok they used to cook their food, surgeons give their patients the knife that cut them open!!
Speaking of surgery, a woman died in Raffles Hospital a few days ago, apparently due to a lack of blood? Her placenta was stuck to her womb...doesn't that sound like something Dr. House would be interested in? Anyhow, the husband is unhappy with the hospital, and I guess he has every right to be, who else can he blame? Doctors lead a harsh life, their patients are either very happy because they're cured, or sad because of their loss. I don't think there is a middle ground?
