I think I've just discovered the worst job in the world. Hair transplant surgeon. Here's what happens (as described by John Stossel in Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity) -- a hole is dug in the bald area of the scalp, then a patch of skin is taken from a hairy part of the head (sides, back) and "planted" into the spot. Imagine! Hair by hair! Operation after operation. Stossel describes a woman who's getting ready to go back for another round. She already has 240 hairs transplanted. Stossel says it looks like a tree farm.
So now imagine what the doctor feels like in the tedium of transplanting hair follicles, one at a time. Ick.
