Today, I underwent several cardiac tests involving heart monitoring nodes placed all over my chest. The lab techs didn't pre-shave the areas and yanked out big clumps of chest hair as they removed the 10 nodes. They laughed, and said it could take up to a year for the hair to grow back. FML

Today, I nearly sliced my nipple off while shaving my chest and had to go to the ER. Turns out it was a teaching hospital so I got to explain in front of two doctors and eight med students how, even though I'm a woman, my nipples are so hairy I have to shave them. FML

Today, I was looking down at my chest and noticed the hairs growing upon it. For a 16 year old, it's pretty impressive. It's a shame that I'm a girl though. FML

Today, I was finally confident enough to buzz half my hair off into the style I've wanted since I was young. Turns out that I have a particularly large and angry-looking skin problem across my scalp that may well have been there for years. It'll take months to grow back. FML

Today, I had to accept the fact that I'm going bald, after I noticed the hair on my chest is longer than the hair on my head. FML

Today, like every month, the beautician spent 10 minutes removing the hairs from my stomach. I'm a girl. FML

Today, I was shaving my underarms, when I heard a noise. I quickly turned my head to see what it was and got the razor caught in my hair. I'm now sporting a very attractive bald patch. FML

Today, I was listening to a client's heartbeat with a stethoscope, when I noticed one of my hairs had fallen on her chest. I tried to brush it off, but it didn't move, so I went to pick it up with my fingers. That's when I found it it wasn't my hair, it was hers... and it was still attached. FML

Hair will grow up really fast. They told you 'a year' just for fun I guess.

I'm guessing you're still trying to grow your high school mustache to go along with your chest hair..... bahahaha......

I don't believe that it'll take a year. Waxing wouldn't take a year to grow back, so why should this?

They laughed? Yeah they're evil monsters who take pleasure in tormenting and abusing patients. Or maybe they were trying to lighten the atmosphere and make you feel better. Grow the **** up OP and don't be such a whiney brat.

I would really recommend not going back to those DR's. The "nodes" are actually called electrodes, and they are used to measure the electrical activity of the heart. If they didn't shave your chest before putting the electrodes on, they wouldn't have gotten a very clear signal - since hair and dirt interfere.

You really think doctors apply EKG leads these days? Even some nurses can't be bothered to do it, so we need "EKG techs."

I do that sometimes if a patient is high, drunk, or just being a jackass. Never screw with the people in charge of your well being...

Fairypower, you are right. I would hate it if my husband got rid of his chest hair. I love the way it feels and the way it smells like him and his cologne combined; that's why I love to lay on his chest.

That's not true AT ALL. I work for a wax company. The hair starts to grow back in about 2 weeks with normal hair growth. At the most you would see growth in a month... But chances are it'll be fully back in 2-3 months. Not a year.
