I wouldn't be surprised the way Twain messaged me wanting me to delete my posts in fear of legal action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member New_Barnet_Please Posted April 12, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Thought you guys were big on freedom of speech in America! Everyone has the right to describe what happened to them and express their opinion on that. Disgusting for the clinic to be threatening people to try and silence them speaking out. Along with what patients are posting here seems a very bad look for the clinic, would avoid this one.

Regular Member TwainHughes Posted April 12, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Nah, I'm not being bullied or silenced. It's nothing like that at all. I just want to be thorough and accurate in my terms. From a consumer/patient perspective, I didn't think navigating all these titles would be so difficult. Clinics and medical agencies use the word technician in different ways. Perhaps I was naive to assume that a doctor would have a more direct role in the procedure. I've been told contradictory things about what parts of hair restoration can be delegated to nurses (and/or technicians) and what parts should be done by a physician. It's all been a very confusing experience, which is why, as others have said on this thread, be really diligent with your clinic about who is doing precisely what so you can make an informed decision about where you want to go.

If you had the surgery in California, it’s illegal for technicians to score skin. Can they get around it? Yes, does it happen? Yes. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Regular Member TwainHughes Posted April 12, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) I have confirmed that they were registered nurses. However, the word technician, as I remember, was also used initially. "Neografter" is another title I've seen in my records. Again, these titles seem to be used in different ways. Perhaps some technicians are nurses some are something else? Can nurses do the procedure? Edited April 14, 2023 by TwainHughes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the word technician, as I remember, was also used initially. "Neografter" is another title I've seen in my records. Again, these titles seem to be used in different ways. Perhaps some technicians are nurses some are something else? Can nurses do the procedure? It depends on their title, nurses are medically trained. Technicians are not, there’s a difference. Technically, a nurse practitioner can write prescriptions. So they definitely can score skin. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

This is why I asked to remove the initial thread. Im trying to be diligent with these terms. It can be tricky, I do believe there’s a significant difference between RN’s and technicians in terms of what’s legal. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Regular Member TwainHughes Posted April 12, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 12, 2023 Exactly. I understand that. This has been my main point of concern in trying to address this. I do not intend to mislead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
