Mother Is Always Right

Here’s a cute, brief story that I thought may be interesting to post…

When a patient of mine joined the US Marine Corp many years ago, he lost a great deal of hair, most likely from stress inducing his male pattern balding. His mother did not like the way he looked, so she complained to him that the Marine Corp was bad for his health. “If you get out of the military your hair will come back,” she would say. Eventually he got a hair transplant before leaving the military to restore what hair he lost. He visited his mother some months after getting out of the Marines and he told me she was quick to point out that because he left military service, his hair came back. It proved (to his mom) that mother is always right. She had no idea he had a hair transplant.
