Mayo Clinic Pathologists Go Bald for Breast Cancer

Would you go bald for breast cancer? That was a question that Carol Reynolds, M.D., Dan Visscher, M.D., and Gary Keeney, M.D., Mayo Clinic pathologists, were happy to answer. And answering affirmatively allowed them to send a message of empathy to patients, colleagues, friends and family members who "bear the consequences" of a battle with cancer and encourage their colleagues to contribute to the cause.
By going bald for breast cancer, the doctors joined a movement among pathologists across the nation determined to raise awareness and research funds for breast cancer awareness month in October.
More than 60 colleagues watched as they shed their locks and showed their friends some of their finer forms of empathy, which included shout outs, shared laughter and, considering Dr. Keeney's temporary Mohawk as a result of raising $12,390, some very generous compliments.
