Danger always has a habit of gas bagging or making pointless remarks even though he's clueless.

I worked in California at California Hospital Medical Center as an anesthetist a few years back and the policy then was to remove patients hairpieces, infections (bacteria buildup)and skin irritations are something that hospitals have to consider, control and guard against especially if patients are admitted for long spells.

Therefore there is this policy in place at certain hospitals so check before going in, if it is minor surgery it would not pose a problem, however if you had to be admitted for a few days or more it can be.

It is always best to ask, so you know for sure...that way it can give you peace of mind knowing.

Proper research is a key to success and and a foundation for good knowledge and good practical habits.

But I guess dangerboy knows it all...lol
