England, I can understand your arguements and I think they are valid.
But these surgeons meet regularly in meetings.
Here is one example:
The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery is an international, non-profit medical association comprised of over 900 physicians specializing in hair loss representing over 60 countries – dedicated to promulgating the highest standards of medical practice and medical ethics. The ISHRS provides continuing education to physicians specializing in hair transplant surgery and gives the public the latest information on medical and surgical treatments for hair loss.
MISSION: To achieve excellence in patient outcomes by promoting member education, international collegiality, research, ethics, and public awareness.
The good doctors speak to each other,share information,techniques, display new tools and perform on patients together in workshops.
The message seems to be a coherent one and it is very hard to disagree with them unless you believe they are all not telling the truth.
I think I know which surgeons you are referring to but I am interested to know who they are.
