Early in High school I picked up a lice infestation in my head hair, of a variety other than the head sort. I was prescribed a shave and bactroban bid covering the whole scalp. Contemporary me might have opted for an old fashioned kerosene massage after the shave.

Contemporary me though would have not won out over high school me in making the decision that lead to contracting pubic lice in my scalp I will humbly admit. On a male child though a complete head shave in my case was minimal in its potential emotional trauma.

I wonder though if the original practitioner might benefit from an retirement offer or contract buyout from the local hospital forcing retirement. Head lice are pretty f-ing big critters and if a medical practitioner can’t spot them, then I wouldn’t trust them to read the printed language at any commonly sized font.
