SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Comment made to husband of African American female patient I took care of on Saturday night:

Me: Gee, your wife's haircut is really cute. It's really attractive on her. (Short style, loose curls which I assumed to be her natural hair from birth. Compliment given specifically about haircut not texture).


He: Oh, no. This is the result of the chemo. After all that other "stuff" fell out this is what's coming in. And it's so much better. (Nods his head in approval). Yea, much better now.


Question: What is better?
