Show doctors and beards dr E J senn of chicago is ahna quoted in tho chicago times herald 1 I do not that physicians should wear bushy beards in fact I 1 think wo will all have to come to the sacrifice shaved hereafter I 1 believe and go cleanly that the conventional doctor of the future will have a smooth face instead of a board my father is bitterly opposed to beards for physicians and does not allow his interned in ternes to wear them I 1 think it is possible to bo too radical in the matter and perhaps ho is I 1 wear a closely cropped beard and I 1 do not see how it can aid at all in spreading contagion with a long beard and especially in surgical cases it is different careful physicians who have beards protect them with gauze guards of course and do not allow them to come in contact with or distribute disease germs in wound it is better perhaps for all a physicians to be clean shaved and I 1 certainly have to come we will all to it |
