掉髮危機

好像從高二開始,我頭頂(髮漩附近)的頭髮,就變得很稀疏,這是當時坐我後面的李裕欽先發現的。我起先不以為然,不過陸陸續續有很多人說我頭髮的事情,我好奇想看看到底昰怎樣,沒想到照鏡子才發現事情的嚴重。頭頂幾乎沒什麼頭髮,看得到頭皮。我還發現在洗頭的時候,頭髮很容易掉。到了大學,情形仍沒有好轉,頭頂的髮量還是很稀疏。於是我上星期六便鐵了心,決定到史雲遜專業健髮去看看,希望能夠找到解決的辦法。

史雲遜在忠孝復興附近有一家分公司,到了之後我到櫃檯詢問掛號,然後在等候區邊翻雜誌等了一會,然後就被叫到診療室去。診療室裡面有一個身穿白衣的女子,她就是史雲遜的健髮顧問,那位年輕的女顧問和我聊了一下頭髮的狀況,就帶我到另一個房間,用一種可以移動的放大鏡照我的頭皮。掉髮的部位,看起來很紅很噁心,那區的頭皮一丁點頭髮都沒長。她說是因為毛囊受損,堵塞紅腫的結果。她還給我看我正常的部位,的確看起來好多了,黑色的頭髮被放得很大,看不到頭皮。

看的過程不超過三分鐘,她就帶我到辦公室講價錢。共有三十次療程,一次一千一,還要買專用的洗髮精五千五,我當時說想考慮,但她說我情形很嚴重需要當天馬上做。天啊,才看三分鐘就要我掏出三萬八千五。我問她說可不可以先讓我試做看看,她斬釘截鐵地說沒有試做的,請我今天立即繳訂金先作一部分療程,我說我身上沒那麼多錢,她還叫我馬上到銀行領出六千六做訂金,我說我要回家再考慮一下,她沒和我再多說什麼就離開了診療室,感覺十分尷尬。

回家後我和爸爸說要到史雲遜做健髮,但他極力反彈,認為我掉髮是因為常熬夜、壓力太大、內分泌失調所導致的。昨天我媽還特地從金門打電話來和說叫我先去看皮膚科,但我心意已決,於是和她大吵一架。

後來上網查了有關史雲遜的資料,發現很多人去了之後都沒有效果,還會叫病患繼續治療,花費高達十幾萬,令我打消了去史雲遜的念頭。最後還是決定先到皮膚科找醫生看看情況,並調整飲食、情緒和作息,畢竟治標不如治本,還是先觀察看看再說。

TV addict

昨天晚上趕出來一段有關電視成癮的短文,老實說,感覺好像在寫我自己。

最近看電視真的看很兇,每天大概至少花兩小時看電視,假日尤其嚴重。只要拿著遙控器,我就會不停的轉台,就算沒有好看的節目我也不會放下遙控器,不知不覺浪費了很多時間。

之前雖一度痛定思痛要戒掉電視,但終究還是敵不過電視誘惑,看完後才想到有一大堆作業要寫,以致於每天都拖到很晚才睡,電視真是害人不淺...今天下午又要PEER REVIEW了,感覺上會被老師ㄉㄧㄤ得很慘。下面是我的文章,看看吧,可能的話給個回應吧。
