I will take you seriously as a Retvrn to Tradition Guy when you get a surgery at a barber shop.

I will also accept a salon if you prefer more specialised hair care while you're being operated on without anaesthetic. It can be a tooth extraction, a trepanation, bleeding into a bucket until you're cured of an illness, or someone who has legally never seen the inside of a body- even a drawing- fishing around in your guts for a possessed organ with their unwashed fingers. Your antibiotics can consist of wine and bread.

popping into Sports Clips to get my humors balanced
- I will treat reactionaries as something more than LARPers when they go to Great Clips and pay $19.99 for the shampoo and worm purge special. Show me how many species of worms are eating your body you absolute fucking posers.
Imagine not performing skull trepanation at your local barber. Sky is falling, civilization ends.
- All those demons are going to go straight to the organs if they don't have any way to escape the skull. That's just more trips to the barber.
i usually follow rasputin's medical advice
i think barbers guilds-->surgeons guilds transition was around the same time as alcohol distilling was becoming available for medicine---so there can be anaesthetic its just the kind that makes you bleed to death
I visit only the finest chirurgeons
You get: A bottle of whisky and a tourniquet. He gets: A bonesaw and 30 seconds. RETVRN.
In Britain, Urologists for example still use the title Mr./Ms. instead of Dr. because their profession was traditionally reserved for barber surgeons, not taught by medical schools. They actually view the title as more prestigious than Doctor, and will bristle if you call them Dr.
