h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Have just read your piece on shaving of a patient (I refuse to use the word"Client")and it brought back memories of my nursing days and not just doing facial shaves!! One thing that was omitted from a hospital patients perspective was that the person who was being shaved would normally have the curtains drawn round the bed for that bit of extra privacy,especially if they had needed a blanket bath beforehand.Always preferred to use single use disposable razors to electric ones as they were more hygenic unless,of course, the person had there own electric razor with them.At leats I never had any mishaps with doing a pubic shave, post operatively,on the gents who needed it doing!!!
